This nearshore sensor (nss_011) operated sparsely between August 27, 2011 and August 2, 2013. It was located approximately 70 meters offshore of Puntan Babpot near the golf course at Laolao Bay on the east shore of Saipan in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). The sensor package was mounted to the sea floor at approximately 3 meters depth. Data were transmitted every 6 minutes. 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. Owned and maintained by PacIOOS under the supervision of Dr. Margaret McManus and lab.
