Underwater Sensor Update


Yesterday, I posted a press release about Bridget Benson, the computer science PhD student who is building energy efficient underwater sensor networks that are badly needed by scientists who study watery environments. She is also the SoCal volunteer coordinator for Reef Check, a nonprofit that includes volunteer divers in their surveys of the Southern California coast.
Reef Check has a survey this Saturday in La Jolla Cove. But it looks like Bridget won't be there. Instead, she will run the survey the following weekend up in Palos Verdes, off the coast of Los Angeles.
