Mobile Ocean Sense: Utilizing Fishing Vessels for Ocean Data Collection

The Mobile Ocean Sense project addresses the need for comprehensive and real-time oceanographic data by leveraging the expansive reach of fishing vessels. Traditional ocean data collection methods often involve dedicated research vessels, which are limited in number and coverage. By integrating a ferrybox-like system onto fishing vessels, which traverse extensive areas of the ocean on a regular basis, the project aims to create a dynamic and widespread data collection network. This approach not only optimizes resources but also provides a cost-effective and efficient means of monitoring the changing conditions of our oceans.

Project Description

The Mobile Ocean Sense initiative involves the design, development, and implementation of a compact and automated oceanographic sensing system. This system, similar to a ferrybox, will be strategically installed on fishing vessels, allowing them to collect various oceanographic parameters such as pH, pCO2, temperature, salinity, chlorophyll levels, and dissolved oxygen as they navigate their fishing routes. The collected data will be transmitted in real-time to a centralized database, creating a comprehensive and up-to-date repository.
