The Smartfin project (smartfin.org/) @smartfinproject has developed an after-market fin for surfboards that can track near-shore water chemistry data. Yeah, no kidding.

Coral reefs provide shelter to 25% of marine life. Threats from climate change and human presence could wipe out all coral reef ecosystems by 2050 – including Tubastraea floreana in the Galápagos. ow.ly/y3jO50D3S5S @Bertarelli_fdn

We recently hosted Smartfin with @DCivin to help get their new @Arm Cellular-based sensing fins to scale - I expect to see 10s of thousands of volunteers helping collect oceanographic data! @ToddMcGrain @insituphile smartfin.org/

Such a cool experience with @zach_shelby and @DCivin of @Arm last week! Great conversations and, equally importantly, my favorite kind of #fieldwork in at Cowell’s/Steamer Lane 🏄🏼‍♂️ – at San Diego, CA

The ocean to surfers: “it’s our office, it’s our playground, it’s our church” ~ @reece of @wsl PURE. Love the definition of “stoke” to kick things off, @reece! We agree! #noef2018 #allhandsondeck

With a passion for surfing and citizen science, Phil created an innovative way to get ocean lovers involved in collective action. “Put this fin on your board, just go surf, and you’re collecting data for the @smartfinproject.” #CMSanDiego
