We’re excited to share a new layer of insight from our Baseline Buoy deployed at the @NMAPlymouth. This buoy has been quietly capturing underwater footage from the Eddystone Reef Exhibit, home to 45 species of sharks, rays, and fish.

Together, these three viewpoints give a more complete understanding of what’s happening in and around the water. Each Baseline Buoy is customisable for your needs, try building your own today at seeseastv.com

Waterline camera - This sits right at the surface, where many issues first appear, and is particularly useful for spotting floating debris such as plastic before it becomes a bigger problem.

Underwater camera - Below the surface, the buoy captures the underwater world, from seals moving through the water to fish and wider marine life, building a clearer picture of how the ecosystem functions beneath the waves.

Above-water camera - This allows us to monitor seals in their natural habitat, helping to observe behaviour, movement, and overall wellbeing, while also supporting site security.

At The Seal Project in Brixham, our Baseline Buoy is equipped with three cameras, each watching a different part of the environment, for a different reason.

Each Baseline Buoy is modular and purpose‑built, supporting up to four sensors, cameras or monitoring devices so functionality can be tailored to each project. Know a project that could benefit from a Baseline Buoy? Get in touch!

We’re excited to be working with The Seal Project and hope this collaboration leads to more data, deeper understanding, and stronger protection for these mammals.

During final checks a curious seal came over to investigate as we made the last adjustments, a great reminder of how engaged these animals are with their environment.

The buoy is fitted with above‑ and below‑water cameras to capture natural seal behaviour and provide new insights into how they use the site.

We’re thrilled to share that a Baseline Buoy has been deployed at The Seal Project in Brixham to monitor local seal populations and gather long‑term behavioural and welfare data.

Tests like this give us the proof (and the data) we need to show exactly how the buoy behaves when deployed in harsh environments, and they help us strengthen every future build. If you have an idea for a test - get in touch!

Our Robotics Engineer Alex launched the buoy in to see how it would cope under the kind of extreme conditions our customers often worry about, and it came through the test impressively well, escaping with only cosmetic damage.

On a recent deployment we found an opportunity too good to ignore, a brutally rough patch of water that was perfect for putting one of our buoys through a stress test.

Build your own Baseline Buoy at seeseastv.com/ and please get in touch if you have a water space that you think would benefit from a Baseline Buoy!

A lot has changed since that test. The mechanics, monitoring and automation have all progressed quickly, and we’ll be sharing the next chapter of that journey very soon.

Last summer we took that mission a step further by testing the first prototype of our automated seaweed cultivation system, and we’re excited to finally show it in action.

Our newest launch, the Baseline Buoy, was developed to support aquaculture projects with the monitoring they need to automate operations and reduce costs.

Our Baseline Buoy is now deployed off Cozumel, tracking invasive sargassum & capturing stunning images of marine life. Built to adapt across coasts, rivers, harbours & aquaculture sites, wherever clear environmental insight is needed. Curious? Let’s talk about your site.

The units also capture stunning marine life and coastal scenery. Interested in deploying one at your site? Reply or DM to start a conversation. #watermonitoring #environmentalmonitoring #biodiversitymonitoring
