The EONIOS project introduces a pioneering approach to marine monitoring using a swarm of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to oversee artificial reefs aimed at boosting marine biodiversity. These environmentally sound reefs, constructed from a special cement, will be supported by AUVs equipped with advanced sensors and cameras to gather real-time data. Operating autonomously for up to a month, the AUVs will also help uphold the integrity of these reefs by detecting illegal fishing and notifying authorities. The project is a collaborative effort involving diverse organizations, with initial trials taking place off the coast of Cyprus.
EONIOS will utilize a fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles to monitor and protect artificial reefs, providing essential data for marine scientists investigating marine life in barren areas.
The AUVs are designed for prolonged underwater operation, capable of collecting vital data on artificial reefs while also safeguarding them against illegal fishing activities.
