Marine Macrofauna…
In this project, I have developed a simple toy model that simulates cetacean (or macrofauna) movement patterns and combines two detection methods: hydrophones and marked individuals. The goal is to explore how these two detection techniques can work together to improve the monitoring and conservation of marine species. Project Overview The model simulates a population of cetaceans moving within a defined area, with hydrophones placed strategically to detect the cetaceans. Additionally, a subset of cetaceans are marked, and their movements are tracked separately. By combining both methods, I aim to assess how well each detection technique performs and how they can complement each other. The simulation generates interactive visualizations where you can explore the cetacean movement and detection data. The results include real-time plots of cetacean trajectories, density heatmaps, and the Mean Squared Error (MSE) between the actual and detected positions. Features Cetacean Movement…
