Space technology will be used to protect the Cyprus marine environment

The power of space technology combined with artificial intelligence will be used to protect the marine environment of Southern Cyprus.

 The Cyprus Space Exploration Agency (CSEO) and the Marine Institute (CMMI) have signed a memorandum of understanding on the use and development of space and marine technologies for research and joint activities in the field of sustainable use of marine resources.

 The Filelefteros newspaper writes that within the framework of the memorandum, the parties will implement a number of measures to protect the marine environment using space technologies.

 Thus, the Cyprus Space Agency will constantly transmit data from satellites on the ecological state of the coastal territory of the island, as well as on the movements of marine fauna within the territorial waters of Cyprus, as well as on possible water pollution due to man-made factors and other disasters that may have a negative impact in the marine environment.
