Swansea University in collaboration with the Waterford Institute of Technology has announced the line-up of speakers for its webinar entitled Application of Sensors in Precision Aquaculture. The webinar will take place on the 25th of May 2021 and is free to all attendees.
Ten speakers will present a range of cutting-edge sensors being developed in Wales and Ireland to support the aquaculture industry. The webinar will feature talks from entrepreneurs, academics, and government agencies committed to supporting aquaculture companies in decision-making to help make ecological aquaculture an achievable target.
The webinar promises to be an unmissable opportunity for professionals working in the aquaculture of fish, shellfish and seaweeds, but also across this dynamic sector.
"We encourage everyone interested in aquaculture – farmers, researchers, consultants, suppliers, and environmental interest groups to attend this exciting webinar", said Dr Sara Barrento, Swansea University, speaker and organiser of the webinar.
This is the first joint webinar in a series of webinars organized and supported by the European projects: Access2Sea and STREAM.
Access2Sea
Access2Sea aims to facilitate aquaculture expansion in the Atlantic zone by enabling new aquaculture business opportunities for a more competitive and sustainable blue growth. Access2Sea is funded by the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme through the European Regional Development Fund. The project runs from March 2019 to February 2022. Website link here
STREAM
STREAM: Sensor Technologies for Remote Environmental Aquatic Monitoring, aims to develop sensors to collect environmental data and accelerate the dissemination of information. Quick, reliable, and accurate data is essential to inform decision making. STREAM is funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Ireland Wales Cooperation programme. Website link here
