Taking advantage of unorthodox data sources, we attempt to fill knowledge gaps that inform important ecological systems.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The name SeaQL stands for a turning point in marine conservation and sustainability. We are committed to writing a bright sequel in the history of ocean use by embracing the big data revolution and advances in analytics and ocean technology. Currently, the SeaQL lab works in the realms of ecoinformatics, fisheries sciences, quantitative ecology, and technology development for ocean monitoring. The latter involves developing innovations to combat illegal fishing and monitor large stretches of the ocean, including large marine protected areas, mega-reserves, and ocean sanctuaries.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>We invite marine ecologists, conservation and fisheries scientists, computer and data scientists, engineers and statisticians to collaborate with us on projects of ecological and conservation relevance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da48f12 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"da48f12\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e27475 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2e27475\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/seaql.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_1244-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-244\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seaql.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_1244-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/seaql.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_1244-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seaql.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_1244-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/seaql.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_1244-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/seaql.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_1244-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/seaql.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_1244-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/seaql.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_1244-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lampedusa, Italy (2022) The SeaQL Lab at Virginia Tech is an interdisciplinary group working on different aspects of Fisheries Science, Marine Ecology and Conservation.
