Keywords:big data, ocean bio-diversity, event-based vision sensor, biologging, marine spatial planning, intelligent database
The ocean remains an unseen world. Compared to terrestrial and space sciences, ocean sciences face significant limitations in observation methods and opportunities, leaving vast unexplored frontiers. At the same time, the ocean serves as a crucial source of food and mineral resources, is profoundly affected by climate change, and supports global trade through maritime transportation. Our society is deeply interconnected with the ocean.
In alignment with the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) launched the Advancement of Technologies for Utilizing Big Data of Marine Life project in 2021. As we reach the midpoint of this decade-long initiative, progresses of three key research endeavors will be introduced:
The Kubota Project comprehensively collects and visualizes available data to predict global biodiversity patterns and assess potential risks. The Takatsuka Project develops novel high-resolution spatiotemporal measurement technologies to analyze the behavior of microscopic particles governing carbon cycling and primary production in the ocean, contributing to the formation of unprecedented big data. The Sato project is developing a database that accommodates and shares ocean environmental physical data observed using marine organisms as platforms, as well as data on the distribution and movement of marine life. These projects are pioneering new frontiers in marine biological sciences. As we look ahead to the final five years, we welcome insights from a broad range of disciplines to facilitate societal implementation of these advancements.
