The ‘Umi-no-Chizu’ (‘Map of the Sea’) project will use aerial measurement to map 90% of Japan’s shallow coastal waters (to a depth of 20m). This is a joint project by the Japan Hydrographic Association (JHA) and The Nippon Foundation. Regulatory, administrative management and jurisdiction issues have meant that less than roughly 2% of Japan’s coastal ...

The University will take delivery of the system, which includes an Over-the-Side (OTS) transducer mount for deployment flexibility, this December.
