Swarm of underwater drones can help artificial reefs off Cyprus bring back sea life: officials

A project using a swarm of autonomous underwater vehicles aims to monitor and protect artificial reefs off Cyprus to attract marine life, according to officials.
The AUVs are equipped with sensors and cameras to provide data on the effectiveness of the reefs, according to Zakarias Siokouros, CEO of the Cyprus Marine and Maritime Institute.
Currently, a trial run of the project called EONIOS is being conducted near Ayia Napa marina, targeting the southern coastal town of Limassol.
AUVs will operate at depths of 20 meters to help restore fish stocks in Cyprus.
