Marine Environment Observation Equipment

Introducing PicSea’s Barnacle Buoys—a revolutionary oceanographic data, surveillance, and communications hub. Wind-powered and battery-backed, these buoys last perpetually, collecting data, live streaming, and capturing video both above and beneath the water’s surface. Deployed on a floating buoy, they attach to any mooring, are lightweight, and endure harsh conditions.

Access the data through a user-friendly dashboard, download it, and livestream or record camera images from above and below the water. Available now, PicSea’s Barnacle Buoys offer remote observation and management of oceanic assets, providing control and minimising risks.

Ideal for applications in aquaculture, seaweed farms, marinas, and as a base for remote operations using PicSea’s underwater photogrammetry drones. Get in touch to explore how Barnacle Buoys can enhance your oceanic operations and Marine Environment Observation. PicSea—observing and managing the ocean with precision and ease.
