dc.description.abstract | Harmful algae blooms (HABs) in coastal marine environments are increasing in
number and duration, pressuring local resource managers to implement mitigation
solutions to protect human and ecosystem health. However, insufficient spatial and
temporal observations create uninformed management decisions. In order to better
detect and map blooms, as well as the environmental conditions responsible for
their formation, long-term, unattended observation platforms are desired. In this
article, we describe a new cost-efficient, autonomous, mobile platform capable of
accepting several sensors that can be used to monitor HABs in near real time.
The Navocean autonomous sail-powered surface vehicle is deployable by a single
person from shore, capable of waypoint navigation in shallow and deep waters, and
powered completely by renewable energy. We present results from three surveys
of the Florida Red Tide HAB (Karenia brevis) of 2017–2018. The vessel made
significant progress toward waypoints regardless of wind conditions while underway
measurements revealed patches of elevated chl. a likely attributable to the K. brevis
blooms as based on ancillary measurements. Measurements of colored dissolved
organic matter (CDOM) and turbidity provided an environmental context for the blooms.
While the autonomous sailboat directly adds to our phytoplankton/HAB monitoring
capabilities, the package may also help to ground-truth satellite measurements of
HABs if careful validation measurements are performed. Finally, several other pending
and future use cases for coastal and inland monitoring are discussed. To our
knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a sail-driven vessel used for coastal
HAB monitoring. | en_US |
