Turtle swimming simulation
Understands animal behavioural patterns, and raise awareness around plastic pollution and poaching
Every summer, a team of scientists from Queen Mary University travels to Cape Verde where, during 8 weeks, they deploy sensors on nesting loggerhead turtles so as they can track them and understand their complex and mysterious behavioural patterns as they return to the ocean.
This generates large arrays of points which are tedious to interpret using existing data analysis tools. In addition, graphs and charts are not always the best support when it comes to showcasing research, whether to educate or to convince decision makers in charge of research fund allocation.
To solve that, Atlantis turns raw data into directly observable behaviours, allows scientists to understand loggerhead turtles behaviour and define no-fishing zones more accurately. NGOs to extend the conservation effort by engaging with populations from Cape Verde, where research is conducted.
