Most advanced autonomous buoy launched of UK coast to measure health of the oceans

The video discusses a buoy equipped with sensors to monitor ocean health, focusing on parameters like oxygen, nutrients, and pH levels. Powered by solar and wind, the buoy will be deployed in the English Channel to collect data. Developed by the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, this project aims to influence policy and contribute to climate research.
