Radically Expand Coastal Ocean Research through Sensors

• November 2021
We propose a bold vision for conducting ocean science. The coastal ocean is essential to the well-being and long-term sustainability of humanity, yet our scientific knowledge on coastal ecosystems falls short. We are calling for a new model that addresses social, economic, political, and logistical factors that impede participation in coastal investigations and stewardship. Our aim is to produce a science research model that increases access to coastal ocean science through instruments and community relationships. Our new model will build on familiar tenets of the share economy developed to respond to the needs of coastal ocean research and science.
