A few notes on Open Ocean Robotics out of Canada. Having won several prestigious prizes, Julie Angus develops autonomous marine solutions as a service when not enjoying other amazing challenges such as rowing across oceans!

Saildrone has been a marine drone maker for a few years now. They had their autonomous drones go out and cover record distances. Now, with the Saildrone Surveyor they are taking on new functions within marine research and meteorological research. In short, they are also able to gather all kinds of data which they share in real time via satellite to the HQ on ground.

A few words on how an architecture team is helping restore Coral Reefs in Hong Kong with the help of 3D printing. You can find the original article on https://hk.asiatatler.com/life/hong-kong-coral-restoration-3d-printing

A few words on the Swiss group using 3D printing to build Coral Reefs. Highly communicative, very inspired and accessible. Please follow them wherever you can, as they are a very dynamic entity that is going to be attracting a large following.

In the USA, a new solution is being created, adding to the number of solutions around the world. In this case, we finally have an artistic angle added to science. A very creative approach which adds to the usually functional approach.

Just like in the previous podcasts, researchers around the world are looking to solve climate change issues. In this case it is again by using 3D Printing that researchers are looking to create Coral Reefs in Israel.

On the topic of robots and drones, the possibility of 3D Printing has allowed for many to join and rapidly prototype solutions enhancing and accelerating the field of research and making of marine solutions. 

Here is the article from which I read and share my thoughts on the topic.

On the topics of robots, a jellyfish inspired robot was designed to help restore coral reefs. You can find the story in the original article, https://www.sciencealert.com/efficient-new-jellyfish-robot-could-become-a-restorer-of-coral-reefs

In an article shared by SkyNews, researchers have found a way to restore coral by using 3D printers to create the coral structures that would then rebuild the reefs!

A few words on the importance to take on the challenges of climate change by acting with what we already have while finding greater solutions as the consequences of not doing so are simply dire. I shared a perspective and response of the czech scientist Daniel Nyvlt on the topic of the topic and effects of climate change which he offered in an interview with a czech journalist in the last few weeks.
