Oceans's diversity
Oceans are the world’s largest source of protein (>200,000 identified species).
Posidonia's extinction
Coastal waters are deteriorating due to pollution and eutrophication.
Digital monitoring is a must
Port Administrations must develop instruments to manage environmental problems (ESPO’s Environmental Conduct Code).
Objetive:
The objetive of iGreenPort consist in the creation of a Dataspace for enviromental monitoring in SmartPort.
The Dataspace will collect geopositioned data of the sea water quality in near-real time, and AIS data, in order to have an early detection tool of pollution incident in sea water and investigate about the ships involved in the incidents.
IGreenPort solves 3 big challenges:
- Current danger of extinction of Posidonia, due to water pollution in Port of Palma de Mallorca.
- The existing solutions in Smartport are oriented towards efficiency but there are few solutions for environmental monitoring.
- The sea water data in all port maritime areas does not exist in near real time, nor it is integrated with AIS data.
