USA

NeMO-Net is a single player iPad game where players help NASA classify coral reefs by painting 3D and 2D images of coral. Players explore and classify coral reefs and other shallow marine environments and creatures from locations all over the world

Data from the NeMO-Net game is fed to NASA NeMO-Net, the first neural multi-modal observation and training network for global coral reef assessment. NeMO-Net is an opensource deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that leverages NASA’s Supercomputer, Pleiades, to use game data to classify and assess the health of coral reefs around the world.

NetTag project

Portugal

The NetTag approach to the problem of marine litter derived from fisheries combines two different types of preventive measures: new technology to prevent lost gears; and awareness actions to promote best-practices for on-board waste management. NetTag is developing new technologies to track fishing gears in case gears got lost, fostering a reduction of lost gears. The technology involves low cost, miniature and environmental-friendly acoustic tags and acoustic transceivers for uniquely localization (with fisher’s personal ID) of lost gear and an automated-short-range robotic recovery system. This is an active project co-ordinated by Ciimar in Portugal.

Nevis Turtle Group
