The international Seakeepers was founded in 1998 by a small group of yacht owners who were horrified by the deteriorating conditions of the seas. Their initial mission was to develop a compact, automated and cost-effective ocean and atmospheric monitoring system to install aboard their yacht, providing data to scientists on the health of the world’s ocean. Their innovative Seakeeper 1000 is now deployed in more than 45 locations around the world, including yachts, cruise, ships, ferry boats, bouys and piers, with many more machines on order.
