As rising sea temperatures threaten our marine ecosystem, researchers are using
sensors to address climate change challenges and protect our coastal environments
Researchers from South East Technological University (SETU) are working with shellfish farmers along the south coast of Ireland to help them adapt and respond to climate change using cutting-edge technologies.
Aquaculture is an important industry in Ireland worth an estimated production value of €178.9M in 2021, according to BIM. However, as global temperatures continue to rise, surface sea temperatures continue to rise also, threatening our precious marine ecosystem.
