The sustainable management of natural resources in the Gulf of America (formerly Mexico) faces complex challenges, including changing climate and ocean conditions, habitat loss and degradation, and balancing competing user demands. having heard talks related to areas such as remote sensing, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), autonomous vehicles, and advanced data analytics, this panel discussion will focus on how these technologies are being developed and applied to enhance data collection, improve stock assessments, monitor habitats, and facilitate adaptive management strategies. Our aim is to foster collaboration between researchers, resource managers, and technology developers. This discussion will provide a platform for sharing best practices and accelerating the adoption of cutting-edge tools to ensure the stewardship of the Gulf ecosystem.
