The Space Applications
Centre (SAC) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in Ahmedabad has
signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with AlphaMERS Ltd., a
Bengaluru-based firm. The agreement,
finalized on July 4, 2024, aims to leverage both entities' resources to develop
a sophisticated AI model. This AI system will be designed to detect and profile
marine pollution in India's coastal waters, focusing on macro plastics and oil
spills.
The collaboration is
expected to significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of identifying
pollutants using remote sensing technology. This will facilitate better
monitoring and management of marine environments.
Such advancements are crucial for protecting
India's rich and diverse coastal ecosystems from the growing threat of marine
pollution. However, it's
