Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI)
The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a large-scale project that deploys advanced sensors and equipment across the ocean to monitor its physical, chemical, and biological conditions in real time. These instruments collect data on aspects like temperature, currents, and marine ecosystems, providing researchers with continuous, high-quality information. This helps scientists understand ocean processes, climate change impacts, and marine health, ultimately supporting sustainable ocean management and advancing scientific knowledge about our planet's largest and least understood environment.
