Our marine buoy has arrived!
We are very excited to take delivery of our first marine buoy. This sturdy unit will be deployed into Croyde Bay in the next few weeks, to monitor water quality in the sea.

Smart Biosphere Operational Lead
As an ecologist with a background in the technical implementation and support of complex data applications, I bridge the gap between the environmental and IT fields. I’m equally happy installing and maintaining sensors as I am managing the Smart Biosphere. I’m keen to see the system develop and make best use of in-situ sensors, 3rd party data, and Citizen Scientists, to create real-world environmental benefits.
Introducing our Citizen Science dashboard
Sometimes you just need to get your wellies on and get out in the water! High-tech solutions like our in-situ sensors are great, providing real-time water quality data, but low-tech solutions – such as a stick and a bottle – can be the best option.
