Mote Marine Laboratory, in a project funded by the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA), has successfully deployed a Sea-Bird Scientific SeapHOx sensor to monitor pH and dissolved oxygen–parameters measured for evaluation of ocean and coastal acidification, at Looe Key in the Florida Keys.

In leading this groundbreaking initiative, Mote aims to fill critical gaps in ocean acidification data, enhancing scientific understanding and protection of Florida’s coral reefs.
