Robot Vehicles Embark on Fish Tracking Mission
Three marine robot vehicles have been launched from Plymouth today to undertake a fish tracking mission in and around new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Scientists from the Marine Biological Association (MBA) and engineers from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) are working together on this pioneering project to study how fish use these areas on a day-to-day basis.
Using acoustic pingers, plaice, sole, brill and rays are being tracked at sea by the ocean robots programmed to patrol a large area of the MPAs there are also a number of seabed listening stations which work in concert with the ocean robots.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) is using new terminology to make it clearer for the public to understand rainfall forecasts.
When predicting rain, the BoM will now use a percentage rather than words to describe the chance of daily rainfall.
The forecasts will utilise the new Meteye information system which is helping the Bureau with more exact forecasting across the country.
