This collaborative initiative, supported by funding from the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership, will further develop the unique proving ground - [The NCCA tests new plankton imaging tech - see the plankton photos it captured!](https://coastalautonomy.com/the-ncca-tests-new-plankton-imaging-tech-see-the-plankton-photos-it-captured/) - PML scientists working as part of the NCCA took the new Imaging FlowCytobot down to the local Millbay Marina last week for its first-ever test of the equipment in real sea conditions. Despite the murky waters, some fantastic images of various plankton species came through. Be the first to see what microscopic beasties it found… - [Future regulation of marine autonomy in discussion in Singapore](https://coastalautonomy.com/future-regulation-of-marine-autonomy-in-discussion-in-singapore/) - Professor James Fishwick from the NCCA took part in a UK Marine Autonomy summit during Singapore Maritime Week. The rapid progress of technological advancements in the maritime sector is poised to usher in the widespread adoption and use of autonomous vessels, whether they operate under remote control or are entirely self-governing.This transformative shift underscores the - [Precious cargo... delivering autonomous buoys to the sea](https://coastalautonomy.com/precious-cargo-delivering-autonomous-buoys-to-the-sea/) - There was a lot of activity at the laboratory recently as we moved two autonomous buoys to Turnchapel Wharf in Plymouth, the final stretch before deployment. One of the buoys was brought in earlier this year for planned upgrades, whilst the other is a brand-new addition, and has not yet been out on the water! - [Using marine autonomy to support sustainable expansion of offshore wind farms](https://coastalautonomy.com/using-marine-autonomy-to-support-sustainable-expansion-of-offshore-wind-farms/) - With the rapid expansion of offshore wind energy to meet ambitious global Net Zero targets by 2050, what will be the impacts on marine ecosystems? NCCA partners are utilising the latest in marine autonomy - to enable sustainable offshore wind energy expansion. - [A bird's-eye view: aerial drones and autonomous dynamic flow mapping for tidal energy research](https://coastalautonomy.com/a-birds-eye-view-aerial-drones-and-autonomous-dynamic-flow-mapping-for-tidal-energy-research/) - NCCA researchers describe some of the benefits of aerial drones and autonomous systems for scientific research on the impacts of tidal energy. - [The potential of artificial intelligence to map miles of seafloor image data](https://coastalautonomy.com/the-potential-of-artificial-intelligence-to-map-miles-of-seafloor-image-data/) - Partners of the National Centre for Coastal Autonomy (NCCA) are investigating the use of artificial intelligence as a means to interpret seafloor image data generated by autonomous platforms. ## Pages - [Home](https://coastalautonomy.com/) - National Centre for Coastal Autonomy the UK's first autonomous coastal observing and monitoring network.
