During a monitoring campaign to analyse the inventory of habitats in Andalusia, a prototype under development, a vertical camera, was tested. This device has enabled the observation of communities in Almeria that were previously unseen, such as laminaria or well-established coral communities, at depths ranging from 40 to 70 metres. The Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) has developed prototypes for several pilot projects.
The results will be used to design new technologies and adapt existing equipment. Simultaneously, it will offer means for non-intrusive data collection in the surroundings and for comparison with other sources of information.
