Open Ocean Robotics tackles the twin problems of ocean data: we need to know more about our oceans in order to protect them, and we need to collect that data in a climate-friendly way.

The startup’s solar-powered, uncrewed vessels emit no greenhouse gases, can withstand hurricanes and other taxing weather conditions, and pose no risk of oil spills. They’re equipped with various sensors and modes of communication, and they can stay at sea for months at a time.

Open Ocean Robotics has numerous advantages over crewed survey vessels, which are the current standard, including… READ MORE HERE.
