The Tabor Academy InvenTeam invented a system to remotely monitor environmental conditions in Buzzard’s Bay. The sensor package is deployed from a remotely operated vehicle which measures dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, pH, and turbidity. Data is recorded at different depths and used by the Buzzards Bay Coaltion’s Baywatchers scientific programs to investigate the impact of nitrogen pollution on algae growth and loss of eelgrass beds in a Buzzard’s Bay harbor.
