Cost-effective autonomous systems for large scale monitoring of marine protected areas

该项目旨在开发自主技术，使澳大利亚不断扩大的海洋保护区（MPAs）系统能够通过可扩展的、具有成本效益的监测，更有效地保护海洋生物多样性和长期生态系统功能。监测将使海洋保护区管理人员能够评估保护和可持续性目标是否得到满足，并据此调整分区政策。澳大利亚将受益于明智的可持续利用政策，为子孙后代保护海洋环境，而不会不必要地限制今天的娱乐和商业使用。

This project seeks to develop autonomous technologies that will enable Australia's expanding system of marine protected areas (MPAs) to more effectively preserve marine biodiversity and long term ecosystem function through scalable, cost-effective monitoring. Monitoring will enable MPA managers to assess whether preservation and sustainability goals are being met and to adapt zoning policies in response. Australia will benefit from informed sustainable use policies that preserve the marine environment for future generations without unnecessarily restricting recreational and commercial access today.
