Automatic Oil spill Recognition and Geopositioning integrated in a Marine Monitoring Network

venerdì 27 luglio 2012


7th Framework Programme - European Union

Area: COOPERATIONTHEME 7 - TRANSPORT

Project ARGOMARINE

start: Sept. 1st, 2009end: Aug, 31st, 2012

Partners



Development of an integrated system of traffic control and oil pollution in environment-sensitive areas.

Goals:



Satellite remote sensing AUV-‐Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

E-‐nose technologies

GPS Posi:oning, AIS and radar tracking Sensorised buoys

Development and interoperation of technologies for the environment monitoring

Airborne hyperspectral/mul:spectral analysis

Undersea acous:c detec:onForecast and evolu:on

System Integra:on -‐ MIS(Marine Informa:on System)



The Mediterranean Sea:a small big sea

Extention: 3.000 x 900 km Recycling time: 7.000 yearsHigh-density of protected

marine areas

More than 20 countries on the sea with more than 400 millions of inhabitants.130 millions of people live on the coastal strip

584 cities750 harbours and 286 commercial ports13 gas installation180 termoelectric power plants2,000 ferries1,500 freight ships2,000 commercial crafts and tankers370 M oil tons per year carried(25% of the world amount of oil sea traffic)

ARGOMARINE: Why?



Commercial crafts and tankers cross every day the area of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park and high value environmental areas



National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago

Established: 1996, expanded in 1997.Surface area: 17,694 hectares of land and 61,474 of sea.

Altitude: 1018 m above sea level at Monte Capanne (Isola d’Elba).

Location: Located in the Tirrenhian Sea and composed of seven main islands (Elba, Giglio, Capraia, Montecristo, Pianosa, Giannutri e Gorgona) and several minor island.

MIS analyzes data from sensors and

integrates them with mathematical-

hydrodynamic models and weather

forecast



The perception by the local stakeholders, who are mainly involved in tourism and fishery, about the importance of the activity within projects ARGOMARINE is helping to slowly go beyond diffidences versus the institutions of new MPAs

Toward a new Integrated Marine Policy!

Sensors on buoys or AUV watch on all the accesses into the protected marine areas (Isola di

Pianosa, Montecristo)

Other usages | Surveillance on a local scale

Passive acoustic sensors monitor possible illegal accesses within the borders of highly protected

areas (Laganas Bay).



How to conciliate the environmental preserva:on policies and local sustainable

development?

It seems to be an oxymoron:

environmental conserva:on evokes reac:ons by local communi:es!



Local political authorities

Local associationslocal stakeholders

Local mass media

The Communication Flow



It’s a slow, difficult door-to door work of patience and

communication!
