PacIOOS Nearshore Sensor 007: Majuro, Marshall Islands

The nearshore sensors are part of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and are designed to measure a variety of ocean parameters at fixed points. nss_007 is located at the Uliga dock inside the lagoon on the eastern edge of Majuro Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). The sensor package is mounted to the sea floor at approximately 2 meters depth. PacIOOS nearshore sensors monitor coastal water conditions to help provide early indications of potentially polluted run-off from storm drainage, sewage spills, and soil erosion from land-based waterways such as streams and other outflows that lead directly into the ocean.
