On Wednesday, June 18th, at 7am PDT / 10am EDT / 3pm CEST, join our webinar with Dr. Tommy Bornman (South African Environmental Observation Network - SAEON), André Hoek (Sea Technology Services - STS), and Jasmine Eggleton (Sofar). The panelists will detail how SAEON & STS deploy Spotter Platforms along South Africa’s coast to collect real-time surface and subsurface data to better detect, understand, and predict environmental change.

Tommy, André, and Jasmine will discuss how SAEON and STS:

• Deploy Spotters at scale in key locations along South Africa’s rugged coastline to make real-time observations of waves, subsurface temperature, dissolved oxygen, and other key variables.
• Leverage the Bristlemouth open connectivity standard to integrate Spotter with custom thermistor strings to profile the thermocline in real time.
• Combine real-time Spotter data with observations from other platforms to rapidly expand coastal monitoring efforts and climate resilience across South Africa.

A Q&A will follow the presentation.
