INTERTAGUA: Interactive Aquatic Interfaces for Detection and Visualization of Atlantic Marine Megafauna and Vessels in Macaronesia using Radio Tags

The INTERTAGUA project aims to research, develop and test innovative IT technologies to promote the social, economic and environmental potential of the oceans and coastal zones of Macaronesia. This is pursued by applying sensor, communication and monitoring technologies to enable the conscious, voluntary and informed participation of citizens in collaborative scientific activities in the field of the Blue Economy.

The project is distinguished by the incorporation of biodiversity and the hundreds of species that inhabit these regions or migrate to the edges of the Atlantic. The aim is to exploit the potential of living systems themselves to use low-cost emerging technologies to monitor ecosystems. The project is based on the symbiotic development between cyber-physical and ecological systems and aims to transform Macaronesia into a unique laboratory for collaboration in the fields of biodiversity, climate change, engineering and design.
