SIRENA 2: Sistema Integral Remoto con nuevas herramientas para la Monitorización, Detección y Predicción de Riesgos de Eventos Marinos Potencialmente Nocivos de Origen Natural o Antrópico en Áreas Off-Shore Destinadas a la Acuicultura

SIRENA 2 extends and enhances the original SIRENA system to monitor and predict potentially harmful marine events affecting offshore aquaculture areas. It combines advanced satellite remote sensing (Sentinel-1/2/3) and AI-based detection of blooms, spills and turbidity with in situ observations using campaigns, buoys and autonomous vehicles, feeding high-resolution hydrodynamic models that generate operational risk alerts up to 60 hours ahead.

This project represents a natural continuation of the SIRENA project, incorporating technological improvements, expanded geographical coverage and greater process automation. SIRENA 2 aims to strengthen and expand the capabilities for monitoring and predicting potentially harmful marine events (natural or anthropogenic) in offshore aquaculture areas, through a comprehensive approach based on three pillars:

Advanced remote sensing, with Sentinel-1/2/3 images and artificial intelligence models for the automated detection of blooms, spills and turbidity, generating early warnings.
Enhanced in situ observation, through oceanographic campaigns and autonomous surface vehicles, buoys and sensors, improving the validation and assimilation of data in numerical models.
Automated operational response, integrating satellite and in situ data into high-resolution hydrodynamic models to project risks 60 hours in advance and issue intelligent alerts for aquaculture management.
