We are the Australian Ocean Lab (AusOcean), a not-for-profit organisation with the mission of helping our oceans through technology.
By leveraging low-cost, open-source technology we aim to engage scholastic programs, nonprofit organisations and community groups who often have limited access to ocean data and technology. Improving global understanding of our oceans and their value will rely on innovation that improves accessibility, lowers costs, and removes barriers between groups of users 🌎
At AusOcean everything we do is open.

The AusOcean "rig" is a low-cost sea surface platform for supporting ocean science in coastal waters. Despite their relatively small size, rigs have been successfully deployed in South Australian coastal waters for many months at a time, proving to be very reliable against harsh oceanic conditions.

Open source tools provide an economic advantage for science.
Review finds significant cost savings when using free and open source scientific hardware over proprietary equivalents -https://bit.ly/2KRJXWB
The holy grail of underwater video technology is the development of software which can automatically identify species 🐠 🐟 🐡
This means creating software which performs accurate count, size, and species ID of fish and other marine species in real-time 🎥
Such applications will revolutionise the way marine science is conducted and drastically expand our data acquisition capabilities.

We've developed a low-cost, open-source, live streaming underwater camera designed for long-term continuous immersion for ~$200 💸
Made from PVC pipe, everything you need to construct this camera can be bought from your local hardware/electronics stores 🎥

AusOcean's mission is to help our oceans through technology. One way we're achieving that is with software, and "open-source software" in particular. In a nutshell, open-source software right holders grant others the rights to study, change, and distribute the software with few restrictions. Using open-source software means we don't have to re-invent the proverbial wheel all the time.
