NAUTILOS - Citizen Science Low-cost drifters for marine litter coastal monitoring - CNR ISMAR

This project utilizes traditional marine litter to create drifters equipped with electronic devices for analyzing sea routes. The use of ordinary litter provides a realistic model for studying ocean currents, while also being cost-effective and easily assembled by makers, associations, and schools. The drifters feature solar panels for energy and transmit data via GSM. The project aims to enhance monitoring efforts and raise awareness about marine litter in alignment with the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. The drifters are equipped with self-sustaining solar panels and transmit data through the GSM network. The novelty lies in the specially created software that records data in case of signal loss and transmits it as soon as the signal returns.
