Focus: Large-scale infrastructure, Permanent Reservoir Monitoring (PRM), and environmental stewardship. The key areas of discussion include;

• Cost-Benefit Evolution: Transitioning from high-cost OBN to cost-effective, permanent fiber arrays.
• Infrastructure Synergy: Leveraging SMART cables for seismic and environmental sensing.
• CCS & Integrity: Using seabed DAS for CO2 plume monitoring and seafloor stability.
• Data Management: Handling the "data deluge" via edge computing on the seafloor.
• Renewables: Monitoring structural health and cables for offshore wind farms.
