Thanks for a nice breakfast meeting!
We were 6 persons having our morning coffee at Nya Varvet and another 6 joining the video meeting. Picking up from Sept 29th, we talked at some length about opportunities (and challenges) around data from tagged animals and from sensors mounted on fishing gear/vessels. Take home messages:
- These data have huge potential to fill serious gaps in existing ocean monitoring programmes, where other and autonomous methods struggle. These gaps include shelf and coastal seas and marginal ice zones.
- The cost-benefit relation is very good!
- The infrastructure for collecting and distributing these data is rapidly expanding and maturing.
- Challenges include subsurface communication and integration into existing monitoring data flows.
