Abstract EN
There are some underwater areas with high ecological interest that should be monitored.
Posidonia and seagrasses exert considerable work in protecting the coastline from erosion.
In these areas, many animals and organisms live and find the grassland food and the protection against predators.
It is considered a bioindicator of the quality of coastal marine waters.
It is important to monitor them and maintain these ecological communities as clean as possible.
In this paper, we present an oceanographic buoy for Posidonia meadows monitoring.
It is based on a set of low cost sensors which are able to collect data from water such as salinity, temperature, and turbidity and from the weather as temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall, among others.
The system is mounted in a buoy which keeps it isolated to possible oxidation problems.
Data gathered are processed using a microcontroller.
Finally the buoy is connected with a base station placed on the mainland through a wireless connection using a FlyPort module.
The network performance is checked in order to ensure that no delays will be generated on the data transmission.
This proposal could be used to monitor other areas with special ecological interest and for monitoring and supervising aquaculture activities.
