Our planet's balance is under threat!- Become a citizen scientist
From rising sea temperatures to devastating nature catastrophes - our planet's balance is under threat. As ocean temperatures are rising, it's not just the coral reefs that suffer, but entire ecosystems is collapsing. You can help by becoming a citizen scientist and collect temperature data from the ocean with our sensor!
Rising sea temperatues
Rising sea temperatures are a pressing global concern that poses a significant threat to coastal communities, biodiversity, and the overall balance of our planet's ecosystems. As a result of climate change, our oceans are heating up at an alarming rate. Urgent action is needed to mitigate this trend and protect the health and sustainability of our oceans.
Natural disasters
The rising sea temperatures due to climate change are closely linked to a surge in nature catastrophes. As our oceans heat up, it contributes to the melting of polar ice caps, resulting in rising sea levels and increased coastal erosion. The consequences of these nature catastrophes are severe, underscoring the urgent need for global action to address climate change and mitigate its impact on our vulnerable coastal regions.
OctoSpy -
Västerhavsveckan!
In collaboration with our partner, Havets Hus in Lysekil, OctoSpy will be introduced and built by children at the upcoming event, Västerhavsveckan. This marks the beginning of OctoSpy's market journey. We are so excited!
Västerhavsveckan is a theme week for the marine environment. On August 10th, several activities will take place at Anderssons Kaj in collaboration between Lysekil Municipality and Västerhavsveckan. Various actors will be present.
Throughout the week, Havets Hus (The House of the Sea) will have a packed program with lots of activities.
There will also be activities in Grundsund and at Kristinebergs Center during the week.
Why temperature?
Measuring the temperature in the ocean is important for several reasons and provides us with valuable information about the climate and ecosystem. One of the primary reasons is that it helps us understand the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems and species. By closely monitoring and analyzing changes in ocean temperature, we can gain insights into the impact of climate change on the ocean.
Data Gaps -
What is it and why do we need to find them?
Data Gaps is information about the Ocean that is missing! There are many sensors on the market but often they are not used correctly or not used at all. This is one of the reasons why there are so many Data Gaps in the Ocean. Finding the Gaps and filling them is helping researchers combat environmental problems.
We need to find the gaps and fill them! Become an OctoSpy and help me fill the gaps and save the planet.
