KOSMOS: An Open Source Underwater Video Lander for Monitoring Coastal Fishes and Habitats

Background: Monitoring the ecological status of coastal ecosystems is essential to track the consequences of anthropogenic pressures and assess conservation actions. Monitoring requires periodic measurements collected in situ, replicated over large areas and able to capture their spatial distributio...

Monitoring requires periodic measurements collected in situ, replicated over large areas and able to capture their spatial distribution over time. This means developing tools and protocols that are cost-effective and provide consistent and high-quality data, which is a major challenge. A new tool and protocol with these capabilities for non-extractively assessing the status of fishes and benthic habitats is presented here: the KOSMOS 3.0 underwater video system. Methods: The KOSMOS 3.0 was conceived based on the pre-existing and successful STAVIRO lander, and developed within a digital fabrication laboratory where collective intelligence was contributed mostly voluntarily within a managed project. Our suite of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering skills were combined with ecological knowledge and field work experience. Results: Pool and aquarium tests of the KOSMOS 3.0 satisfied all the required technical specifications and operational testing. The prototype demonstrated high optical performance and high consistency with image data from the STAVIRO. The project’s outcomes are shared under a Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA license. The low cost of a KOSMOS unit (~1400 €) makes multiple units affordable to modest research or monitoring budgets.Dominique PelletierJustin RouxelOlivier FauvarqueDavid HanonJean-Paul GestalinMorgann LebotPaul DreanoEnora FuretMorgan TardivelYvan Le BrasColine RoyauxGuillaume LeguenMDPI AGarticleunderwater videomonitoringfishesbenthic habitatcoastal ecosystemsSTAVIROChemical technologyTP1-1185ENSensors, Vol 21, Iss 7724, p 7724 (2021)
