Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) have transformed oceanographic research through autonomous data gathering. Similarly, lake and other aquatic research can potentially be automated and transformed. However, UUVs would need to be smaller, lighter, less complex, and cheaper than currently available to make them more practical and user‐friendly

BALLAST WATERS: PROBLEMS AND PERSPECTIVES
NAŠE MORE : znanstveni časopis za more i pomorstvo, 1995 This paper analyses the dangerous consequences of contamination of coastal waters by nonindigenous sea species spread by ships ballast waters. It specifically points out that the measures currently recommended to a void the danger are merely palliative and a radical solution is yet to be seen. Furthermore, the impacts of some nonindigenous species that
