Ocean Sensor Networks

Ocean sensor networks are systems of interconnected devices placed in the ocean to monitor its conditions, such as temperature, salinity, currents, and marine life. These sensors collect data in real-time and transmit it to researchers remotely, often via satellites or underwater communication systems. They help scientists study ocean health, track climate change, and improve maritime safety. Designed to operate efficiently in challenging underwater environments, these networks provide valuable insights about the world's largest and least understood habitat, supporting sustainable ocean management and scientific discovery.
