As populations living near coastal regions continue to grow, understanding and monitoring the effects of human activities on the surrounding estuarine and coastal ecosystems is imperative to protect these natural resources. There is a definitive need for long-term, accurate, cost-effective water-quality monitoring systems that provide real-time information on the status of these essential ecosystems.

Sea-Bird Scientific is pioneering the effort to monitor nutrients that cause eutrophication (otherwise known as ‘dead zones’) in our coastal and inland waters.


 

HydroCAT-EP V2

The HydroCAT-EP V2 measures and records conductivity, temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, and chlorophyll. It is ideally suited for extended deployments in remote, biologically rich environments.


HydroCAT

The HydroCAT measures and records conductivity, temperature, depth, and optical dissolved oxygen. It is ideally suited for extended deployments in remote, biologically rich environments.


SUNA V2

The SUNA V2 UV nitrate sensor is the ultimate chemical-free solution for autonomous monitoring of nitrogen-based nutrient concentrations in ocean, estuarine, and high-turbidity freshwater environments.


ECO FL Fluorometers

ECO FL fluorometers measure fluorescence from chlorophyll, CDOM, uranine, rhodamine, phycocyanin, and phycoerythrin.


ECO PAR

The ECO-PAR provides highly accurate measurements of PAR (400-700 nm) in all aquatic environments.
