Remote controlled vehicles; ROVs; Sea cucumber; Orthomosaics; MappingAbstract
The use of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in marine research and conservation has become increasingly popular due to their versatility and ability to operate in challenging environments. This technology shows great potential in the conservation of marine species such as sea cucumbers, which are vital for ecosystem balance but are threatened by overfishing and habitat degradation. This review explores the application of ROVs in sea cucumber population monitoring, highlighting their role in providing real-time data on population dynamics, habitat conditions, and human impacts. The integration of ROV data with aerial orthomosaics to improve the accuracy and reliability of habitat assessments is discussed. The versatility of ROVs extends beyond sea cucumber conservation, with applications in mapping coral reefs and monitoring fish nurseries, showcasing their broad utility in marine ecosystem protection. As these technologies continue to advance, ROVs offer immense potential for developing informed and effective conservation strategies. This review underscores the critical role of ROVs in marine conservation, emphasizing their capacity to enhance our understanding of sea cucumber ecology and to support sustainable management practices.
Highlights
- UAV and ROV integration enables precise sea cucumber habitat mapping and monitoring.
- OBIA and machine learning improved species identification in complex marine habitats.
- ROVs’ high-resolution imagery supports accurate population density and habitat surveys.
- UAV limitations include battery life, environmental challenges, and species detection.
- Future research focuses on enhanced algorithms and improved validation for data accuracy.
