A look back at an exciting week in Gran Canaria, where the team joined the Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias (PLOCAN) Glider School to share knowledge, demonstrate technology and give participants some hands-on experience with autonomous marine systems.

Matthew Hill and Anna Rengstorf delivered classroom sessions, practical workshops and on-water demonstrations, including The Anatomy of an AutoNaut session.

A particular highlight was the live launch of an AutoNaut as part of the SIRENA-2 mission, supporting environmental monitoring of an aquaculture cage farm off the southwest coast of Gran Canaria.

It was a great opportunity to share our experience, showcase the capabilities of AutoNaut and connect with others working in marine science and autonomous technology.

Here are some highlights from the week.

🐋 Sightings of the Week

A look back at a Minke Whale sighting captured by one of our teams offshore.

This sighting was recorded a little while ago, but we thought this lovely image was too good not to share!

Minke Whales are members of the baleen whale family and can be found in UK waters, particularly during the warmer months.

Another great reminder of the marine life our teams can encounter while carrying out their work offshore.

With thanks to the Marine Mammal Mitigation Team for capturing this image.
