Island of Faial receives underwater acoustics center

TVI Notícias5 September 2026 at 21:38

The island of Faial, in the Azores, is receiving an underwater acoustics center, a pioneering project in Portugal. The implemented system collects sounds through a set of sensors installed in the marine environment. After collection, the sound data is processed using artificial intelligence, allowing for more efficient and sophisticated analysis. This is an innovative initiative in the country, which positions the Azores as a strategic location for the study and monitoring of underwater acoustic activity.
