This report is Deliverable D9.3 in the NeXOS project. It describes the efforts in demonstrating the
Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) sensor system and passive acoustic sensors in the Mediterranean
Sea (Task 9.3).
There have been variations compared to the original program that has affected the demonstration
activity in the Mediterranean Sea. First, the original plan to simultaneously equip a fishing vessel with
EAF and A2 passive acoustics sensor systems turned out to be unworkable. Consequently, the two
systems were demonstrated separately, with the EAF installed on a fishing vessel (MED3) and another
version of passive acoustic sensor, the A1.hybrid (i.e., featuring Serial + Ethernet comms), installed on
the TeleSenigallia fixed platform (MED1). A further demonstration mission was added, involving the
installation of an A2 passive acoustic sensor system in the OBSEA cabled observatory (MED3). The latter
replaces the demonstration originally planned in ESTOC (Task 9.1).
Demonstrations of the three missions are delivering real-time and near-real time data to the standard
OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) based Services, from which data streams are displayed on a SWE
data visualization client. They will also be displayed on the screens of the PLOCAN operation room
during the final stakeholders day during the last General Assembly. Data are encouraged to be made
available through the Global Earth Observation System of Systems without any restrictions (on
discovery, access or use).
