The deployment of the Boxfish camera (Photo by Cailene Gunn|Courtesy of PNNL)ĭata from this footage will inform a set of recommendations to decision makers in the marine energy industry on best practices for monitoring marine energy related changes to underwater habitats, according to Triton. The field tests assessed the utility of these cameras for monitoring artificial reef effects and other potential changes to habitats around marine energy devices and associated structures. The team deployed the camera at sunrise, midday, and around sunset to monitor habitats at different times of day, with and without underwater lights to illuminate the surrounding area. The final demonstration was a huge success and brought the NoiseSpotter closer to the finish line of commercialization following successful development, testing, and validation of the technology at PNNL’s Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory.Īlso, Triton’s ‘changes in habitat team’ travelled to xWave’s deployment location at University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) to deploy a Boxfish 360-degree underwater video camera around an anchor near the device. The NoiseSpotter’s novel vector sensor array is said to enable researchers to gather information about the location and identity of those sounds in real-time.ĭuring these tests, multiple configurations of the NoiseSpotter were demonstrated, including real-time data collection with data transfer to the cloud, a drifting test to gather data decoupled from water currents, and self-logging data collection with no expression on the water’s surface.
