Seafloor Observatory

A seafloor observatory is an advanced research facility installed on the ocean floor to monitor and study seismic activity, ocean conditions, and marine environments in real time. Equipped with sensors and instruments, it provides critical data on earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, and ecosystems, helping scientists understand deep-sea phenomena, improve early warning systems, and protect coastal communities. These observatories are vital for advancing marine science and ensuring maritime safety by offering continuous, long-term observations of the hidden worlds beneath the ocean surface.
