Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
These ocean
drones are trawling for climate change data
Drones cruise
the ocean? You may think the drone is a thing that flies in the air. But there
are sea version drones trawling day and night for scientific research. They don’t
fly but trawl seas for gathering data, such as carbon dioxide, acidity,
currents and water temperature to combat climate change as well as fish count
data. They can also detect unauthorized undersea ships that are attempting to
smuggle illegal objects like drugs. These solar-powered unmanned boats travel
slowly but nearly permanently. Thus, the cost to gather such data fell
drastically compared to human-operated ships, not to mention the consistency and
accuracy of operation.
Enjoy reading
and thinking any other version of drones that could take or help human’s jobs.
