TÜBİTAK MAM introduced innovative technologies for monitoring agricultural pollution and the “Advanced Monitoring Systems” to be developed within the scope of the ANEMONE PLUS project at the training program organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, General Directorate of Agricultural Reform.

TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center (MAM) took part in the “Nitrate Action Plan and Environmentally Friendly Agricultural Practices Training” organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry General Directorate of Agricultural Reform. In the event, which was attended by many experts and participants from different provinces of Turkey, presentations were made on the technical monitoring of the effects of agricultural activities on water resources.

Within the framework of the program, the participants were informed about the ANEMONE PLUS project, which is co-financed under the European Union Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin Program (2021-2027), in the training on “Determining the Location of Water Sampling Stations for Monitoring Agricultural Pollution” by TÜBİTAK MAM. During the presentation, the technical capabilities of the advanced monitoring systems to be implemented were emphasized, and the technological advantages and data sensitivity of these smart solutions compared to conventional methods were shared with the participants. The innovative methods and smart solutions used in the project, which aims to increase the resilience of the marine ecosystem, were discussed comprehensively.

The program aimed to develop and disseminate smart monitoring solutions with advanced technologies to support the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems. This technological approach, which offers significant advantages such as operational flexibility, speed and high spatial resolution compared to conventional monitoring methods, was evaluated with interest by the participants.
