The Ocean Observatories Initiative

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a large-scale research project that uses advanced sensors and underwater equipment to monitor the ocean's physical, chemical, and biological properties in real time. It provides scientists with continuous data on ocean conditions such as temperature, currents, and marine life, helping us better understand climate change, marine ecosystems, and ocean health. By doing so, the OOI supports scientific discoveries and informed decision-making related to the ocean's role in Earth's environment and resources.
