Hamidreza Mohammad Hosseini Takhti, noting that one of the axes of innovation in the management of the province's coasts and ports is the use of satellite data and machine learning, stated: "In this regard, a revision of the approach to water quality monitoring and the identification of surface pollution in the basin of the Shahid Rajaee Port Complex, using satellite images and machine learning models, is being pursued."
He added: "In this field, the examination and processing of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite images, the identification of spatial and temporal changes in water quality, the assessment of indicators such as turbidity and chlorophyll-a, and the identification of surface pollution including oil slicks are among the technical axes of interest."
The Director General of Ports and Maritime of Hormozgan Province stated: "The integration of satellite data with information measured on site and the development of machine learning models can provide the grounds for creating a broader and smarter approach to the monitoring of port environments."
In conclusion, Mohammad Hosseini Takhti noted: "In addition to enhancing spatial coverage and increasing the capacity for analyzing environmental information, this measure can, through the optimal use of existing infrastructures and data, help reduce monitoring costs and provide more effective information for managerial decision-making."
