3 pages, 2 figures The Marine Institute is currently providing access to the EMSO SmartBay observatory for an exciting new project titled Smart Lobster. This project aims to monitor the burrow emergence behaviour of the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) in Galway Bay with the use of an underwater camera on the EMSO SmartBay observatory. The observatory is located on the seabed (20m to 25m depth) off the coast of Spiddal in Galway Bay and this area is one of the North East Atlantic fishery grounds for this species (more commonly known as Norway lobster, Dublin Bay prawn, langoustine or scampi). The project will also involve the use of a new autonomous imaging device which has been designed for long-term deployment. [.] Peer reviewed
