Quarter Century of Ocean Technology
In the last 25 years, the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) has progressed from developing technology for shallow waters to deep waters. Coastal communities too have been provided access to desalinised potable water and have benefited from the tsunami warning system.
Recent Developments in Shore Protection for India’s Coasts
The 7,500 km long Indian coastline faces severe threats from the process of coastal erosion. The National Institute of Ocean Technology, through data collection, scientific modelling and engineering activities, has attempted to protect several coastlines of which the Kadalur Periyakuppam coast is one.
Minimising Shipborne Emissions Along the Indian Coast
The 7,500 kms long Indian coastline is dotted with many major and minor ports. The temporal increase in the volume of cargo is also indicative of the rising emissions by ships which NIOT is trying to minimise using innovative strategies.
