Low-Cost Solutions for Underwater Equipment Recovery
Our goal: Provide broader access to ocean exploration through low-cost underwater equipment recovery systems including acoustic releases and timer releases so that scientists, fishers, and other ocean users and enthusiasts can have access to this technology that previously was only affordable to a select few.
These are our classic underwater equipment recovery systems that use a replaceable corrosion link to release the gear from the seafloor. Acoustic and timer versions of the system are available and these systems are in use all over the world.
These are our simple, low-cost pop up fishing releases that use a motor-driven cam to release a line and buoy to the surface. Acoustic and timer versions of the system are available and these systems are in use in a broad range of fisheries to reduce entanglements, ship interactions, gear pilfering and gear loss during storms.
