About the project
Imagine an ocean where we can listen to the coral reefs, whales and fish to better know how we can protect and keep them healthy. The Internet Of Underwater Things is an inspiring mystery that follows deep dives into the underwater world; exploring, researching, and learning how ocean creatures communicate. We explore the largest creatures on the planet to the tiniest; answering big questions about where life comes from. Through this exploration, life in the ocean helps us to understand ourselves.
Discovering The Big Island of Hawaii, Australia, Costa Rica, Cuba, and Greenland; this exploration into the underworld will open up our minds to the importance of the ocean and how we can listen to better understand her many clicks, whistles, and songs.
It’s designed to create a worldwide network
The Internet of UnderWater Things is a project designed to create a worldwide network of smart interconnected objects or autonomous underwater vehicles to digitally link our oceans. This might sound like science fiction, but it’s already underway. For decades scientists, oceanographers and governments have been mapping the ocean with devices. These autonomous underwater vehicles (also known as AUV’s) communicate with each other, collecting data and transmitting it at normal internet speeds to control centers above the surface. Apart from effective management of our planet’s resources, the information has broad applications such as surveying crashes and shipwrecks, detecting early signs of tsunamis, monitoring health of animals, as well as creating interactive real-time aquatic education, archaeological expeditions, and ecological monitoring applications.
We can not protect what we don’t understand.
Creating a global network at the forefront of problems like ghost nets, plastic pollution and noise pollution tracking movements and events intertwines the various teams. The purpose of doing this work is to have a greater understanding of the ocean and protect the life of the ocean.
The noise in the sea and how it affects the life of whales and dolphins
The ocean is interconnected with sounds and energy.
We know less about the ocean and the alien creatures that inhabit the deep sea than we do about space, yet we continue to look up rather than down. We must continue to explore and find ways to protect ocean creatures so that we can better understand our planet and how all life on earth is communicating and interdependent.
