Moana TD Sensor

The Moana TD Sensor and the Moana Deck Unit have been developed as a key part of the Moana Project (see below). The system has now been successfully rolled out to over 300 commercial fishing vessels around the world, on boats ranging in size from small in-shore day boats to deep water factory trawlers.

The Moana TD Sensor is a tough robust accurate sensor that can be quickly and easily attached to a wide range of commercial fishing gear. Once fitted, the sensor operates automatically, recording high accuracy temperature and depth data throughout the fishing event. When the fishing gear surfaces, the data is automatically offloaded to the Moana Deck Unit that is mounted on the vessel.

The Moana Deck Unit processes the data and then uploads it to the cloud. The system is fully automatic and so does not interfere with the fishing operation.

Wet Tags

Automatic Ocean Data Collection Without Disrupting Fishing

Wet Tags are fully automatic so valuable data can be collected without interfering with the fishing operation. Wet Tags detect when they enter the water and then start recording depth and temperature.

Wet Tags are fully automatic, allowing valuable temperature and depth data to be collected without interfering with normal fishing operations. The tags automatically detect when they enter the water and begin recording, removing the need for manual activation and helping ensure reliable data is captured throughout each fishing event.

Once the fishing gear returns to the surface, recorded data can be wirelessly offloaded using the ZebraTech app, available for both Android and iOS mobile devices. This provides a simple and convenient way to access data directly in the field without requiring additional equipment or complicated processes.

Alternatively, ZebraTech Deck Loggers can be used to offload Wet Tag data and combine it with other manually entered information. This provides a flexible solution for more comprehensive sampling programmes, helping commercial fishing operations efficiently collect, process and manage valuable environmental and fisheries data.

Sea Ring

Rugged In-Situ Sampling for Reliable Environmental Research

The SEA Ring provides a robust, autonomous solution for in-situ environmental sampling, combining reliable operation with integrated monitoring capabilities for extended field deployments.

The SEA Ring array is a robust system designed for in-situ environmental research and monitoring. With integrated physicochemical and passive sampling capabilities, the system allows researchers to collect environmental data directly in the field while maintaining the natural conditions surrounding sediment and test organisms.

By conducting sampling in situ, the SEA Ring removes the need to collect, transport and recreate environmental conditions within a laboratory. This reduces the risk of sediment samples becoming altered or denatured during handling, providing researchers with representative data and greater confidence in results throughout each deployment.

Designed for demanding field environments, the SEA Ring features rugged construction, an easytouse organism delivery device and reliable water circulation system. Battery powered and autonomous, the system can operate unattended for extended deployments, providing a practical solution for long-term environmental research.

Ultraseep – Seep Sampling

Groundwater Flow and Contaminant Monitoring

The UltraSeep system provides accurate, autonomous monitoring of underwater groundwater flow and associated contaminants, delivering reliable in-situ data

Designed for accurate monitoring in coastal environments, the UltraSeep system measures underwater groundwater flow and associated contaminant concentrations directly in situ. Its autonomous operation provides reliable time-series data, helping researchers quantify discharge rates and chemical loading while accurately identifying the presence or absence of groundwater flow into coastal waters.

Trident Probe – Seep Detection

Rapid Underwater Groundwater Detection & Sampling for Field Surveys

The Trident Probe system provides a rapid method for undertaking underwater groundwater seep detection and sampling field surveys.

The direct push probes enable simultaneous underwater groundwater detection, and pore water sampling, to a variety of depths.

ZebraTech works closely with Coastal Monitoring Associates, who are leading specialists in underwater groundwater seep detection and sampling field surveys and analysis.
