Proposal of an Automated Monitoring System of Aquamarine Water Quality in Coral Reef Regions

Resumo

Coral reefs play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, providing habitat and sustenance for diverse marine species. However, they face rapid degradation due to human activities, posing a significant threat to their ecological balance. Monitoring the water quality near these reefs is essential to their preservation, ensuring that critical factors such as temperature, oxygen levels, and salinity remain within appropriate ranges. Traditional monitoring methods are often slow and labor-intensive, requiring field agents to collect data manually. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop autonomous monitoring devices capable of transmitting real-time data from specific locations to researchers and environmental preservation teams. Doing so can improve our understanding of reef health and respond more effectively to threats.This project aims to contribute to preserving coral reefs by providing timely and accurate data for conservation efforts. By harnessing technology to monitor and protect these vital ecosystems, we can work towards ensuring their long-term survival.
