Cassie Durette, program coordinator for the Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal and Ocean Observing Systems of (NERACOOS), talked about data collection in the Isles of Shoals. She noted that there has been a significant increase in ocean acidification in our lifetime. Impacts on phytoplankton are very important because its health is key to ocean ecosystems. A buoy off the coast of Appledore Island measures ocean acidification/Co2. Appledore is an AirMap station. Ways they observe: drifters; satellites; gliders. There are a variety of buoy types. Buoys collect information on: Co2 atmospheric pressure, chlorophyll, nutrients, currents, dissolved oxygen, visibility, water temperature, wind, waves, and air temperature. The information (data) is collected by different sensors.
