Coastal
From the Pacific tuna grounds to the Chesapeake Bay to the shallows of Florida’s coastline, applied marine science is rethinking who collects ocean data and how that data builds toward long-term coastal stewardship and a stronger ocean economy.
In this issue of eco Magazine, we explore how commercial fishing vessels are being turned into ocean observing platforms, examine the monitoring technology helping shellfish farmers and coastal managers plan for the long term, and look at what it will take to build the workforce behind the growing ocean industry, and more.
