Ocean Monitoring Stations

Ocean Monitoring Stations are specialized facilities or equipped buoys placed in oceans and coastal areas to collect data about the environment. They measure key parameters such as temperature, salinity, currents, wave heights, and chemical composition. This information helps scientists understand ocean health, track climate change, monitor pollution, and forecast weather or natural disasters like tsunamis. The data is transmitted to research centers for analysis, enabling informed decision-making for environmental management, navigation safety, and climate resilience. These stations play a crucial role in maintaining sustainable interactions with our planet's vital marine ecosystems.
