The
Issue: Although
much
research
has been
done
in our
oceans,
they
are still
considered
an unknown
world.
For example,
so far
technology
does
not allow
for quick
and easy
fish
stock
assessments,
and the
Digital
Ocean
Project
aims
to improve
test
population
models
for fisheries.
Furthermore,
improving
technology
to prepare
for extreme
events,
such
as hurricanes,
would
improve
the forecasting
abilities.
The Digital
Ocean
Project
will
improve
the monitoring
of such
extreme
events.
Sea
Grant: The
mission of
Sea Grant’s
Digital Ocean
is to build
on work pioneered
by Sea Grant
to develop
methods for
creating
digital representations,
or models,
of ocean
resources
and phenomena.
By gathering,
analyzing
and making
data widely
available,
we can help
provide essential
tools for
ensuring
the health
and sustainability
of our marine
resources
and economy.
