SECOORA is excited to welcome new member Navocean. Navocean is a small business that designed a “mobile buoy”, known as a Nav2 ASV, to provide persistent observations over large or small areas. The Nav2 ASV is a 2-meter self-navigating sailboat designed for versatility and easy logistics. It is equipped with a wide variety of sensor payloads and can perform short to long duration missions. Nav2s are small, efficient and safe to operate, making them well suited for lakes, estuaries, coastal or offshore areas.

We are also looking forward to working with SECOORA and our regional science and research partners to ensure Quality Control / Quality Assurances on our data.” – Scott Duncan, Founder and President of Navocean (pictured right)
