MBARI researchers demonstrated that a fleet of robotic floats could provide important insight into ocean primary productivity on a global scale. Data from these floats can be used to improve computer modeling of Earth’s carbon cycle, climate change predictions, and ocean health. Image: Natalie Freeman © 2019 SOCCOM

About MBARI

Research programs at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) encompass the entire ocean, from the surface waters to the deep seafloor, and from the coastal zone to the open sea. The need to understand the ocean in all its complexity and variability drives MBARI's research and development efforts.
