Researchers from an EU project have deployed AI-powered sensors in Galway to detect microplastics in water, aiming to improve aquaculture practices. The sensors utilize digital technologies like photonics, computer vision, and AI to differentiate microplastics from natural particles in water samples. The project, called Astral, involves partners like the Irish Marine Institute and Leitat.
The sensors were tested at aquaculture sites in Galway's Bertraghboy Bay and are planned to be deployed in various operational environments. The technology is crucial for monitoring water quality, predicting environmental risks, and optimizing aquaculture performance sustainably. The project aims to make microplastics monitoring more accessible and effective through cutting-edge technologies.
