Ocean Data Network can provide full Data-as-a-Service of fishing vessel based oceanographic observation, including instrument sourcing and integrations, data analytics, network/fleet management, and data serving. However, we will also meet your needs in setting up any of these components to create a full system as a part of a consortium of existing initiatives.
One network, four perspectives, each with a tailored view of the same trusted data.
Fish smarter with live water-column intelligence, and earn from data collected during normal trips.
For fishermenSee the position, activity and performance of every vessel, and prove where fishing took place.
For fleetsAccess dense, standards-compliant subsurface observations with full, traceable metadata.
For scienceIndependent evidence of fishing activity relative to marine protected areas and quotas.
For agenciesFrom the sensor on the gear to the data feed in a global model, ODN runs the full chain.
Temperature, depth and weather sensors on fishing gear and vessels, profiling the water column 24/7.
Pinpoint where and when fishing happens, with geofenced reporting inside and outside marine protected areas.
Observations delivered to the WMO GTS for operational forecasting and published via ERDDAP for science.
A structured database that records full provenance and QA/QC for every observation we collect.
Bottom-temperature maps, surface conditions and live network coverage, visual products for every user.
Haul-by-haul gear-performance analytics, see exactly how your nets and gear set in the water column.
Every instrumented vessel adds coverage where it is needed most, the productive, fast-changing coastal seas that traditional platforms struggle to reach.
The same observations serve very different missions, from saving lives in a storm to keeping a fishery sustainable.
Subsurface data in historically data-sparse coastal seas, improving the models that track a warming ocean.
