REAL-TIME OCEAN DATA FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
From coastal water quality to long-term ecosystem health, Del Mar Oceanographic supports government agencies and environmental groups with durable, autonomous sensor platforms for continuous monitoring and alerting.
BUILT FOR LONG-TERM MONITORING
Our wave-powered profilers are optimized for unattended operation and high-frequency sampling in challenging nearshore and open-ocean environments. Whether in shallow coastal waters, or deployed on full ocean depth deepwater moorings, our profiles provide a robust and cost effective method of collecting high resolution water column information.
