The Joint Task Force (JTF) International Project Office for SMART Subsea Cables is proud to present our initiatives in Vanuatu-New Caledonia and Portugal. A SMART cable combines the functionality of a telecommunication cable with environmental sensing. Improving early warning for earthquakes and tsunamis, and understanding of associated risk to coastal areas. This information will help governments to sustainably develop and manage the oceans and coastal and offshore infrastructure, including helping the subsea telecommunication industry with warning of external hazards to cables and improved cable system routing. In collaboration with Goat Knight, I was the lead editor on this promotional video that was presented at the United Nations, New York.
