The Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience and the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering will pilot a project that could serve as a model for collecting data on coastlines globally and Florida’s own 8,436 miles of coastline. Using advanced sensors, including new technology in development at UF, a multidisciplinary team will collect data and develop a database never before available that provide a picture of the health of coastal infrastructure – bridges and piers – and biological systems, from mangroves to aquatic creatures.
