General Public
Within SUSHI-DROP, a customized unmanned underwater vehicles will be developed and equipped with acoustical and optical technologies in order to implement a non-invasive mean to assess environmental status of habitats, fish stocks population and, in general, to monitor the biodiversity of marine ecosystems. We are planning to assess the accuracy of the opto-acoustic surveys in deriving single-species abundance indices (in numbers or weight) for direct input into stock assessments, and to evaluate the benefits brought by these new technologies with respect to the classical procedures based on fish sampling. Moreover, a dedicated open-access database system will be created to collect, maintain and share the scientific data acquired by the UUVs.

Open database of the SUSHI DROP project - https://site.unibo.it/sushidrop/it/data
The processed data starting from the surveys of the missions carried out in the Adriatic Sea with the underwater drone “Blucy” are progressely made available to anyone to use, under the concept of open access to scientific data. The SUSHI DROP project has processed the acquired data, mainly using Open Source software, publishing them in formats defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), an international consortium of more than 500 businesses, government agencies, research organizations, and universities driven to make geospatial (location) information and services FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable)
