Robotic turtle to help monitor world oceans

RoboTurtle 1
Ref 16450

See Ferrari text
Picture MUST credit: Beatbot
A solar-powered robotic turtle is set to swim the world’s oceans for ecological research, aquatic preservation, and disaster response.
RoboTurtle has advanced capabilities such as water environment monitoring, biometric tracking and AI-supported hazardous material sampling.
Its smooth, shell-like exterior mimics the natural form of a turtle, enabling it to integrate into aquatic environments.
The design is also streamlined to reduce water resistance, enabling the robot to move with what the maker calls “precision and agility.”
Bionic multi-jointed limbs replicate a turtle’s movements, ensuring that its presence in fragile ecosystems does not look out of place.
Underneath the shell , the US designed RoboTurtle is equipped with advanced technologies.
An adaptive buoyancy system enables smooth transitions between land and water, allowing the robot to navigate challenging terrains and dynamic aquatic conditions.
AI-powered cameras provide researchers with real-time data, capturing everything from biometric details of marine life to environmental hazards such as oil spills.
Solar panels embedded in the shell enable it to perform long uninterrupted operation in remote locations.

'Waste has value': how surfing helps Colombia solve its plastic problem
The Amigos del Mar has found a way to help Tierra Bomba island clean up its beaches - and get children back to school.
Amigos del Mar has set up the Olas Paz programme (known as the Clean Wave Project in English), transforming the thousands of plastic bottle caps that pollute Tierra Bomba into surfboard fins.
In Tierra Bomba, plastic bottle caps, bags, wrappers, toys and other plastic waste constantly washes up on the white sand beaches, where it accumulates due to the lack of adequate waste collection services.

'Your plastic is here': how Easter Island copes with 500 pieces of rubbish an hour washing ashore
One of the world's most remote populations must deal with a flood of multinational plastic, much of it tossed overboard by the factory fishing ships hoovering up sealife just offshore.
About 2,300 miles west of central Chile, Easter Island (also known as Rapa Nui) is among the most remote spots on Earth - and among the most polluted.
It is estimated that 50 times more plastic washes ashore on these beaches than on the Chilean mainland, largely a result of the vast spiralling current known as the South Pacific gyre.

Felipe Tepano, president of Rapa Nui powerful Council of the Sea addresses local villagers on the efforts to build conservation safeguards in the rich fishing grounds that surround this remote island.

'In 10 years we may cease to exist': rising seas and influx of tourists threaten to engulf Panama island. The Guna community.
The Guna community has fought for survival for centuries. But modern threats are testing their cultural resilience.
The Guna Yala islands are one of Central America's most exposed maritime zones in the path of climatic phenomena. Their inhabitants face rising sea levels due to the climate crisis, and pollution such as plastic waste and fuel from tourist boats.
With an area equivalent to five football fields, around 1,500 Gunas live crammed together on the
island.

On the island of Carti, the most populated of the archipelago, there is no waste management system. Everything is thrown into the sea and contaminates the banks. The inhabitants live in unsanitary conditions, which leads to viruses or diseases, such as dengue fever.

FEATURE - Arktis: Die Welt der Eisbären schmilzt
SVALBARD AND JAN MAYEN - JULY 27: A view of walruses as the Turkish scientists observe and report on the habitats of polar creatures throughout the cruise during the expedition in Svalbard and Jan Mayen, on July 27, 2023. Under the responsibility of the Turkish Presidency and Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology, with the coordination of TUBITAK MAM Polar Research Institute (KARE), 11 scientists carried out the 3rd National Arctic Scientific Research Expedition, within the scope of the Turkish Naval Forces Command, the Turkish General Directorate of Meteorology, Anadolu Agency, research institutes, universities and bilateral cooperation. While the Arctic region remains one of the most profoundly impacted by global climate change due to its geographical location, maritime activities, trade routes, overfishing, mining, oil and gas exploration, human-driven pollutants, and the proliferation of plastic in ocean waters, it persists in experiencing rapid warming and melting. Projections indicate that polar bears, categorized as 'vulnerable' on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)'s endangered species list and recognized as the world's largest land carnivores, will confront habitat loss and the threat of extinction should the ongoing Arctic melt persist.
