The songbirds of our Coastal Canary Project are Reef Check’s small but tough temperature loggers. The loggers monitor temperature fluctuations every ten minutes.⁠
⁠
Each one is fixed with a stainless steel bolt into the rocky reef about 12 m (40 ft) deep. The sensors tough out 12-month deployments before they’re retrieved and swapped out with fresh units to continue the mission.⁠
⁠
Staff and volunteers support this effort, so if you become a Reef Check diver, you may be able to participate in this project!⁠
