Scalable Full-cycle Marine Litter Remediation in the Mediterranean: Robotic and Participatory Solutions

Deliverables

Public Demonstrations, Pilot Sites and Showcases Plan

This report defines the specifications of the planned demonstrations and closely defines the use cases for each demonstration area and pilot site for the full scale joint system operation as well as single component use. (<=T2.2)

Dissemination Resources

This report will contain the communication and dissemination resources that will be developed for the project, e.g. project logo and tagline, presentation and poster templates, project website, and social media accounts. (<=T6.2)

Sensory System Upgrade Report

This report will address the selection - after a set of unitary tests in real conditions - of new sensors such as high resolution 2D/3D sonars, multispectral cameras, electromagnetic and photogrammetry sensors; as well as pesticide/nutrient sensors that will be evaluated, purchased or rented, and integrated on the USV, the mapping ROV, the UAV, and the grapple. (<=T4.1)

IPR Strategy

This report will contain the IPR Strategy as agreed within the consortium in compliance with the GA and CA to be agreed on among the partners. (<=T10.2)

Innovation and Risk Management Report

The Innovation and risk management report will describe the activities and monitoring of the achievements to control the scientific quality of the results. (<=T1.3)

Marine Litter Occurrence Domains Report

This report focuses on the litter occurrence in regard to specific environments such as highly frequented touristic regions, industrial ports, fishery and aqua cultural sites as well as protected natural areas. Elaborating those specifics will shape and define further data acquisition measures and help to train the AI responsible for decision making process in litter collection, and distinguishing on marine wild life and waste fractions. (<=T2.1)

Communication, Dissemination and Stakeholder Engagement Strategy and Plan

A Communication, Dissemination and Stakeholder Engagement Strategy and Plan (CDSEP) will be developed to ensure the project maximises its outreach to and impact on wider society and targeted audiences. Specific KPIs will be developed and regularly monitored (every 6 months) to ensure the CDSEP's effectiveness. The CDSEP will be continuously monitored and updated when relevant. (<=T6.1)

Data Management Plan

The Data Management Plan (DMP) will describe how the technical and business data and knowledge that will be created within SeaClear2.0 will be handled, stored, and made accessible. In the DMP the partners also agree upon the specific data that cannot be openly accessible (e.g. due to IP protection, confidential data of participating industries/end-users), etc. The DMP will be updated yearly if relevant. (<=T1.5)

Call for Tender Design for Associated Regions

Analysis of the critical features of maximising robotic system usage at broader scale. Pin-pointing areas that current demonstration and pilot sites do not provide validation of some of the critical points identified. Creation of tasks for showcasing the suitability of SeaClear2.0 system in areas that are not yet foreseen in current tests and demonstrations. This task will take results from WP2 task 2.1 and 2.2 into account. (<=T7.2)

SeaClear2.0 Product and Service Sheet

Based on T2.1 and T2.2 findings, a specification will be composed of the requirements for both hardware and software developments in regard to system capabilities (payload, depth, storage capability, speed, endurance, range, data speed, etc.), mechanical and electrical interfaces of system components, inter-robot communication structure and data collection, refining and distribution as well as integration requirements. (<=T2.3)

Marine Litter Dataset

Creating a database of marine litter by gathering information from marine scientific reports and field studies, categorizing waste fractions by properties such as size, material, weight, solidity, location in the designated demonstration areas. (<=T2.4)
