Sofar Ocean's marine sensing devices, including the Spotter and Smart Mooring, are leading a global effort to revolutionize oceanic exploration, providing real-time data crucial for climate awareness, coral reef protection, and accurate coastal flooding predictions.

Since the late 1800s, various strategies, including at-sea observations, buoys, satellites, and statistical and modeling predictions have been used to better identify and comprehend weather patterns, both short and long term. Like our struggles with understanding the deep sea, our arsenal lacks data, which is often costly, time intensive, and difficult to collect. Additionally, existing collection methods lead to time inefficiency and lack of accuracy. Sofar Ocean, a San Francisco-based creator of marine instruments for data collection and weather forecasting, is determined to increase the collection of and access to ocean data, as well as provide critical insights to scientists, communities, and industries around the world.
