UHI applicationsThe UHI technology is ideal for identification, classification and monitoring of objects, areas and organisms in marine environments – and Ecotone is the sole provider of such technology.

Ecotone offers both hardware and software to scientists and researchers that wish to explore the following areas:

• identification and mapping of species and habitats, based on spectral signatures Marine biology, e.g. corals, kelp and seagrass, sponge aggregations Marine archeology Minerals Sedimentation• results can be processed into interactive GIS-systems
