In this webinar, Caesar Hjerten (Community Manager, Aqualink), Vince Smith (Director of Impact, Whalefall), Sanne Tuijten (Science Officer, Reef Renewal Bonaire), and Zack Johnson (Developer Relations Lead, Sofar) discuss how the Spotter Platform supports reef monitoring. Attendees will learn:
- How Whalefall and Reef Renewal Bonaire work with students to deploy Sofar Spotter Platforms at key reef sites, measure changes in subsurface temperature, and enhance coral restoration efforts.
- How Aqualink maintains a global coral reef monitoring dashboard and collaborates with researchers to gather and visualize critical ocean data.
- How Sofar’s modular and rapidly deployable Spotter Platform delivers real-time surface and subsurface observations to help close the data gap for researchers protecting the world’s coral reefs.
A Q & A follows the session.
