More Information
Summary:Described herein are systems, methods, and devices for detecting harmful algae blooms. An example system includes autonomous watercraft; and a computing device operably connected to the autonomous watercraft over a network, the computing device including a processor and a memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that cause the processor to: surveil a body of water for an algae growth; receive a local condition at the body of water; predict a spread of the algae growth in the body of water based on the local condition; determine a deployment strategy for the autonomous watercraft based on the spread of the algae growth; and transmit one or more control signals to the plurality of autonomous watercraft based on the deployment strategy, where the autonomous watercraft are configured to collect and analyze a plurality of water samples to determine whether the algae growth is a harmful algae bloom.
