Here at CoastalOceanVision, we are committed to advancing the state of knowledge of our planet’s aquatic environments. Through our integrated instrumentation platforms, we are able to observe dozens of physical and chemical parameters in real-time and view them from anywhere in the world via a web browser. By presenting data in a variety ways, we help scientists to better comprehend the complex mathematical relationships between them and how those relationships might change over time. We also help commercial industries make better business decisions with our automatic optical plankton species classification system, where the early detection of harmful plankton is critical for kelp farmers to protect their valuable underwater crops from damage. Municipal drinking water processing stations can similarly make decisions about how and when they allow water sources to enter their systems based on what chemical or biological entities we detect. CoastalOceanVision is interested in helping laboratory scientists and advancing the education of students. As such, we are currently designing a low-cost plankton camera for the laboratory and classroom use, which can be submerged in suspensions of biological samples such as those that have been cultured or collected by net. With its variety of products, CoastalOceanVision helps scientists, educators and industry find the best tools for the job to better understand what factors affect the aquatic habitats they study or the food supplies they produce or collect through environment measurement, data presentation and automatic classification. As concerns grow about future ocean food supply, public health and safety at beaches, and the threat of reservoir drinking water contamination, CoastalOceanVision addresses these issues with products that help people analyze aquatic attributes accurately and rapidly. As new challenges arise, we will quickly respond with new products that are committed to help the needs of society.
