Universidad Católica de Murcia has led this international research, endowed with almost 4 million euros by the European Union, to support decision-making for the recovery and maintenance of Mar Menor.
The yearly event of the European project called SMARTLAGOON, research H2020, headed by UCAM, which was celebrated today, has shared its results with regional, national and international scientists and with the Department for the Environment, Mar Menor, Universities and Research.
The SMARTLAGOON project has increased the data collection thanks to the installation of two new cameras, located in the Marchamalo and El Estacio canals.
This measuring device will efficiently send real-time data on the lagoon’s temperature, salinity, chlorophyll and turbidity
Estrella Núñez, vice-rector of Research for the Universidad Católica, has participated in the visit of Diana Morant, Minister of Science and Innovation, to the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, where the Minister was shown the progress of the European project 'Smartlagoon' led by the Universidad Católica de Murcia.
Sensors will provide real-time information on the levels of oxygen, temperature, salinity, chlorophyll and turbidity at different depths.
The research sessions of 'SMARTLAGOON', an EU-funded Horizon 2020 project led by the Universidad Católica de Murcia, kicked off at the UCAM HiTech Sport and Health Innovation Hub this morning.
UCAM will provide the regional administration with all the information, technology and applications deriving from the artificial intelligence project ‘SMARTLAGOON’ to achieve the sustainability of the salt lagoon
Through the European Union’s elite programme ‘Horizon 2020’, experts from six countries will create a digital model, using artificial intelligence, to monitor the salt lagoon and ensure its sustainability. ‘SMARTLAGOON’ will be replicated in other natural areas across the continent.
