Description:
The Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT) Workshop entitled, "Biological Platforms as Sensor Technologies and their Use as Indicators for the Marine Environment" was held in Seward, Alaska, September 19 - 21,2007. The workshop was co-hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and the Alaska SeaLife Center (ASLC). The workshop was attended by 25 participants representing a wide range of research scientists, managers, and manufacturers who develop and deploy sensory equipment using aquatic vertebrates as the mode of transport.Eight recommendations were made by participants at the conclusion of the workshop and are presentedhere without prioritization:1. Encourage research toward development of energy scavenging devices of suitable sizes foruse in remote sensing packages attached to marine animals.2. Encourage funding sources for development of new sensor technologies and animal-bornetags.3. Develop animal-borne environmental sensor platforms that offer more combined systemsand improved data recovery methodologies, and expand the geographic scope of complementaryfixed sensor arrays.4. Engage the oceanographic community by:a. Offering a mini workshop at an AGU ocean sciences conference for people interestedin developing an ocean carbon program that utilizes animal-borne sensor technology.b. Outreach to chemical oceanographers.5. Min v2d6.sheepserver.net e and merge technologies from other disciplines that may be appliedto marine sensors (e.g. biomedical field).6. Encourage the NOAA Permitting Office to:a. Make a more predictable, reliable, and consistent permitting system for using animalplatforms.b. Establish an evaluation process.c. Adhere to established standards.7. Promote the expanded use of calibrated hydrophones as part of existing animal platforms.8. Encourage the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) to promote animal tracking aseffective samplers of the marine environment, and use of animals as ocean sensor technologyplatforms.
