SusTunTech at Pacific Community workshop on adaptation of tuna-dependent Pacific Island communities and economies to climate change (26-27 September 2022)
Dr. Fernandes has participated and presented work of SusTunTech on digitalizing vessels and converting them in data providing platforms for modelling. Temperature, currents velocity and acoustic data gathering potential by fishing vessels is of interest to improve climate, weather and early warning system. This is a first workshop within a longer-term strategy for increasing the [...]
