Underwater Intervention 2012

Rachael Z. Miller, UI 2012 Small ROVs Track Leader
Founder, Rozalia Project for a Clean Ocean
 
Rachael Miller is a co-founder of Rozalia Project for a Clean Ocean whose mission is to find and remove marine debris, from the surface to the sea floor, through action, technology, outreach and research. Rozalia Project uses VideoRay ROV's along with Blueview and Tritech sonar, KCF smart tether and Lyyn image enhancement to search the sea floor for marine debris of all sizes. Following target acquisition, they use a variety of techniques to recover and recycle or properly dispose of the ocean trash. In addition, Rozalia Project uses technology to connect people of all ages to their underwater world through dockside and shipboard marine debris programs aboard their 60' sailing research vessel, American Promise.
 

Rachael's background is in marine studies and underwater archaeology which she studied at Brown University. She is a trainer for VideoRay and founder of Lake Champlain Shipwrecks running the first commercial, ROV-supported shipwreck tours in the US. Rachael is a life-long sailor, instructor trainer and race coach trainer for US Sailing and is a member of US Sailing's National Faculty and Training Committee and holds a USCG 50 ton Master's license. Rachael is currently the leader of the small-ROV technical track for Underwater Intervention 2012.

In 1993, Underwater Intervention was introduced as the combination of the ROV Intervention Conference and The ADCI Diving Symposium.  The success of those early years has continued with Underwater Intervention growing annually into the world's premiere event for Remotely Operated Vehicles, Commercial Diving Contractors, Manned Submersibles, and all other aspects of the Underwater Operations Industry.
Underwater Intervention's sponsoring organizations are non-profit, membership supported professional organizations.  By supporting Underwater Intervention, you are supporting and giving back to the industries and communities represented at Underwater Intervention.  Proceeds from the annual conference go back into member driven programs that support education and training, provide scholarships, and support safety initiatives throughout the underwater operations industries.
