The Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources (SMMR) Network is excited to host another free Lunchtime Webinar! This month Fazeel Mohammed, PhD at the University of Bedfordshire, will give an insight into:
Harmful algal blooms pose significant challenges to aquaculture and fisheries resources, causing substantial economic losses and potential food shortages. To address this issue, a comprehensive approach that combines fluorescence spectroscopy with machine learning models can serve as a reliable solution to enhancing warning systems. This technology can proactively provide steps for the precise identification of harmful algae, thereby providing an early warning system for aquaculture and ensuring its sustainable future. In this webinar, we present our initial findings primarily based on literature review and secondary data together with a way forward to address this challenge.
The Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources (SMMR) Programme is funded by UKRI and addresses critical marine research gaps, which span a variety of disciplines, from natural capital to ocean literacy and systems-based management. The growing SMMR-Network offers regular Webinars and Trainings for the marine community, aiming at connecting science and policy to improve management of the UK marine environment.
