🎧 🌊 Italy’s ambitious coastline mapping project to combat biodiversity loss and IHO’s evolving role, are the focus of this week’s Planet Beyond podcast. Italy is taking bold steps to protect its marine biodiversity with a 2-year project aimed at mapping 7,500 km of its coastline. 🌍 Using cutting-edge technologies to generate a digital twin of the coastline, the project focuses on the critical role of seagrass meadows in capturing carbon and enhancing biodiversity. The data collected will guide targeted conservation and restoration efforts, paving the way for a healthier marine ecosystem. 🌿 🎤 Our guests, John Nyberg, PhD (International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) Giordano Giorgi (ISPRA) and Marco Filippone (Fugro), talk through the opportunities that lie ahead in #MarineConservation #Seagrass #OceanMapping #CarbonCapture #TechForGood 📢 Listen to Planet Beyond, subscribe and leave a rating 🔗 https://spoti.fi/4d1pgQm

🌊 Fugro joins global leaders in maritime decarbonisation 🌊 As part of the United Nations Global Compact Ocean Stewardship Coalition, Fugro supported a Joint Statement on the Urgency for a Global Agreement on Maritime Decarbonisation during the UN General Assembly in New York. Together with other Maritime Industry Leaders we call on all International Maritime Organization (IMO) Member States to support a global regulatory framework that accelerates the use of zero and near-zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) fuels. Ensuring a fair transition for all stakeholders while maintaining efficient global trade is crucial. We are ready to do our part, in collaboration with governments, the UN and other key stakeholders. Together we create a #SafeAndLiveableWorld 🔗 Read the full press release: https://bit.ly/4gFnLZV #Sustainability #MaritimeDecarbonisation #UNGlobalCompact #ClimateAction

🎧 Join Planet Beyond and deep dive into one of the ocean’s mysteries and the importance of belonging! 🐟🌊 🎤 Our guest, young research scientist TreVaughn E. uncovers the fascinating role lampreys play in Alaska’s marine ecosystem. During his internship with NOAA Fisheries, he had the opportunity to study these unique fish and their interactions with key species like cod and salmon. His work sheds light on the critical importance of even the most overlooked species in maintaining the health of the ocean🌍 In addition to his research, TreVaughn is a strong advocate for increasing diversity in marine science. As an active member of Black In Marine Science, Non-Profit Organization, he’s proud to be part of a community dedicated to connecting global Black marine scientists pushing for greater diversity in the field. 📢 Interested in learning more about lampreys, ocean conservation, or the importance of diversity in science?

🌊 How do you maintain a large-scale offshore wind farm while addressing visibility issues, minimising environmental impacts, and reducing risks? Our uncrewed surface vessels are redefining the industry! Using our Blue Essence® USV and Blue Volta® eROV, we remotely inspected the underwater infrastructure for Vattenfall’s Hollandse Kust Zuid project, saving thousands of offshore work hours and reducing CO2 emissions by 95%. 🌍 With minimal disruption to marine life and real-time data delivered from our remote operations centre in Aberdeen, we set a new benchmark for sustainable wind farm maintenance.

🚨 Blue Amp® eROV Update: Deep Water Testing Success! 🚨 Following our recent milestone, we're thrilled to share an exciting update from our Global ROV Product Manager, Mark Bruce, on the Blue Amp® eROV’s deep water testing—recently completed in the crystal-clear Fjord waters just a few kilometres from Fugro’s Bergen office. 🌊 “We’ve spent the last two months fine-tuning performance both from the quayside and out in the Fjords, validating our performance against the use case. The results have been outstanding, a true testament to the tireless efforts of everyone involved over the past few years. A couple of highlights include the stability at speed we’ve achieved from such a small platform is remarkable. And during our time in the Fjords, we conducted uninterrupted tests without any need for recovery, proving just how reliable our remote solution is. I’m confident that this will be an exciting addition to the Fugro eROV fleet! Also, I want to give a special shout out to Reach Robotics, Sonardyne International Ltd, Forum Energy Technologies and NORBIT Subsea who have all at different stages been very collaborative in their approach to helping us progress and tweak performance to our specific needs!” As we complete the last tests, we’ll move forward with making the final modifications to the Blue Amp® at our Innovation Centre in Nootdorp, the Netherlands. Once completed, it will be installed onto our groundbreaking Blue Eclipse® USV 18-metre series and handed over to our Europe Africa region to prepare for commercial work. Watching the final piece of this puzzle come together is truly exhilarating!” 🧩 Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the final stages of this groundbreaking journey! 🚀 #ROV #Innovation #DeepWaterTesting #RemoteOperations
