Australian Marine Ecology Orders Iver2 AUV

01/12/2010

OceanServer Technology said that Australian Marine Ecology Pty, Ltd. bought an Iver2 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. Equipped with OceanServer’s new dual port camera system, this vehicle will be used in a broad range of upcoming research initiatives that include coral reef mapping in shallow lagoon habitats of the Lihou Reef in the Coral Sea. Other reef work will include ongoing monitoring and measurements of the coral bleaching and crown-of-thorns starfish. The vehicle will also collect data to better examine habitat conditions and mapping of marine protected areas, as well as for design of seabed infrastructure. The Australian Marine Ecology personnel spend up to one hundred days in the field each year, including hundreds of hours underwater in a variety of environments and conditions. The scientific team is one of the most active in southern Australia, and is heavily involved in underwater surveys for fisheries, environmental impact assessment, and ecological research.
