Blockage of intakes by jellyfish and other marine objects causes serious economic disruption and gives rise to safety concerns for coastal power stations. To combat unexpected arrival of clogging materials, a consortium of CTL, UEA, Cefas and EDF Energy will design, build and test an imaging system for the detection of jellyfish in coastal waters. The system will be designed for use by power station operators to provide an early warning of jellyfish blooms in their vicinity. The aim is to integrate different types of cameras in an innovative, rugged sensor package which can transmit data back to land. The cameras will be able to see even in turbid water by using ultrasound. The system will be built and tested in three stages: 1) under controlled conditions in a large saltwater aquarium facility, 2) during supervised short deployments at a coastal test site and 3) during an extended autonomous installation at a power station site. The instrument will ultimately be used as part of a comprehensive early warning and mitigation service for coastal power station and desalination plant operators , with potential also for use in aquaculture.

水母和其他海洋物体堵塞进水口会造成严重的经济破坏，并引起对沿海发电站安全的关切。为了防止堵塞物质的意外到来，CTL、UEA、Cefas和EDF能源公司的一个财团将设计、建造和测试一个成像系统，用于检测沿海沃茨的水母。该系统将被设计为供发电站运营商使用，以提供附近水母爆发的早期预警。其目的是将不同类型的相机集成在一个创新的、坚固的传感器包中，可以将数据传输回陆地。通过使用超声波，相机甚至可以在浑浊的水中看到。该系统将分三个阶段进行构建和测试：1）在大型海水水族馆设施的受控条件下，2）在沿海测试场地的监督短期部署期间，以及3）在发电站现场的扩展自主安装期间。该仪器最终将作为沿海发电站和海水淡化厂运营商的综合预警和缓解服务的一部分，也有可能用于水产养殖。
