Image Of the Day caption:
Researchers survey a kelp farm run by the University of New England in Saco Bay, Maine, using a REMUS 100, a robotic underwater vehicle (not visible) equipped with specialized sonar, cameras, and environmental sensors. The survey was part of a larger effort funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop tools and technology to advance the mass production of seaweed for biofuels and bio-based chemicals. WHOI biologist Scott Lindell is leading a team of seaweed biologists, geneticists and entrepreneurs who are developing a breeding program for sugar kelp, a commercially important species. WHOI robotics and acoustics researcher Erin Fischell is leading the development of the autonomous underwater kelp farm observation system known as KelpBot.
