South Australia deploys network of buoys for improved ocean monitoring
(MENAFN) A fresh network of high-tech spotter buoys has been deployed off Victor Harbor, South Australia, to enhance the real-time monitoring of ocean conditions, delivering crucial data on wave dynamics and water temperature.
Researchers from Flinders University, the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) Oceanography team, and Victor Harbor Council have launched the initiative in Encounter Bay and the Southern Ocean to address crucial gaps in coastal data.
The buoys will provide vital information for research on climate change impacts, sea level increase, and coastal erosion, Flinders University reported on Monday.
The deployment is particularly timely, given recent instances of destructive brown foam washing ashore, linked to unusually warm ocean temperatures and microalgal blooms.
This initiative aims to equip scientists, policymakers, and local governments with the necessary tools to prepare for and address evolving environmental challenges.
Associate Professor Miot da Silva from Flinders University's BEADS Lab emphasized the importance of the project, stating that "this will provide good baseline data about coastal waters that has been lacking," along with enhancing the capability to model and foresee future coastal changes.
