“…In general, benthic landers, also known simply as landers, are any unmanned, unattached, autonomous, and instrumented underwater vehicle capable of gathering physical and chemical variables in situ over a given period. Their operational time can range from a few days, usually for biological studies, to several years, for physical oceanography studies (Ferreira et al 2014;Tengberg et al 1995). Deployment is usually performed in either one of two modes: (1) a free-fall mode, where control over the precise landing position is limited; or (2) a highprecision mode, commonly used to measure geomorphological features.…”

The colonization of underwater environments by exotic seaweeds is causing major ecological problems around the world. This project, referred to AMALIA, aims to transform this current ocean threat into an opportunity by adding value to the macroalgae present off the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. To do so and to observe the presence of seaweeds in situ, an ocean modular submersible platform was developed. This platform was designed to be capable of detecting and surveying surges of invasive seaweeds while withstanding sea conditions. Conceptual designs followed by a screening process were performed, taking into consideration criteria such as operational range and modularity. An open-frame lander was considered and further developed using buckling criteria. In parallel, a state-of-the-art monitoring system was created using spectral imaging, allowing for the future creation of a macroalgae identification system. In addition, sensorial systems for characterizing growth conditions were introduced. Laboratory trials were executed to assess the capability of the system, and sea trials are currently being performed. Numerical simulations and laboratory trials indicate that the structure is fully capable of being deployed for shallow-water environments with a state-of-the-art invasive seaweed monitoring system while maintaining a high degree of modularity.

“…Biswas et al [146] studied the influence incurred by climate change, specially the water-temperature change, on the fish catches in sustainable management of world fishery. Recently, Ferreira et al [147] reported the TURTLE project that explores the underwater subsystems. This study could reduce the operational expenditure, increase the capability of human activities, and benefit the sustainable operations in the sea bottom.…”

In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly accepted the 2030 Development Agenda, which has included 92 paragraphs, and the Paragraph 91 defined 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) and 169 associated targets. The goal of this paper is to discover the correlations among SDGs and information and communications technologies (ICTs). This paper discusses the roles and opportunities that ICTs play in pursuing the SDGs. We identify a number of research gaps to those three pillars, social, economic, and environmental perspectives, of sustainable development. After extensive literature reviews on the SDG-related research initiatives and activities, we find that the majority of contributions to SDGs recognized by the IEEE and ACM research communities have mainly focused on the technical aspects while there are lack of the holistic social good perspectives. Therefore, there are essential and urgent needs to raise the awareness and call for attentions on how to innovate and energize ICTs in order to best assist all nations to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
