Irish scientists deploy AI on the south coast to understand climate change

The sensors will help better understand oyster and mussel growing conditions and track water quality while gauging the likes of temperature, salinity, and nutrient levels in the marine environment

Researchers from South East Technological University (SETU) are working with shellfish farmers along the south coast of Ireland to help them adapt and respond to climate change using cutting-edge technologies.

Scientists and shellfish farmers are using artificial intelligence (AI) along Ireland's south coast in a bid to better understand climate change and its impact on coastal areas and marine life.

Sensors have been placed in Bannow Bay in Wexford and Dungarvan in Waterford in a collaboration between Ireland and Wales involving South East Technological University (SETU), Munster Technological University (MTU), and Swansea University.
