Port Quin needs your support. But what happens here could help save many other coastal areas from similar exploitation. It's now or never...

We now have a
SHOP!
If you need a new t-shirt or hoodie for the summer, have a look at what we've got. We've kept prices low, and everything in there is created from organic, recyclable, ocean friendly materials, the inks are water based, and the factories are wind powered. Any profits will help to save our bays and protect wildlife.
Seaweed Generation Innovation
The Baseline Buoy
SeaGen are working hard to create a global biodiversity and environmental monitoring network to help understand and protect our oceans, rivers and lakes.
Marine populations have declined 50% since 1970. The next decade is absolutely critical for the future of all nature on earth. Understanding what's happening to the life and environment around us has never been more important for the planet.
Using sensors, cameras, and probes, SeaGen gather live environmental data to monitor marine life, track pollutants and understand water conditions over time.
SeaGen's flagship product, the Baseline buoy, is a flexible, solar powered foundation for monitoring marine life and aquatic environments.
This highly configurable system allows above and below water monitoring, with onboard power & data management, and live data transmission.
Leveraging Machine Learning, SeaGen are able to adjust the onboard cameras and sensors to monitor different animals, plants and environmental parameters in any water space.
The Seal Project is partnering with SeaGen, to gain access to their first early-prototype Baseline Buoy, for live, autonomous and continual monitoring of the seals in Brixham Marina. One of their seals popped up on a pontoon in Rock in mid-October, much to everyone's surprise!
The Baseline Buoy system will provide:
1. Live, freely available video feed (via the free Baseline App) above and below the water in Brixham Marina in an area that seals frequent.
2. Live, freely available environmental data for Brixham Marina (via the free Baseline app) including: temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen
3. Summary reports for environmental data (freely available) and seal behaviour (restricted access to protect our beautiful seals, available upon request to The Seal Project)
If you can, please donate to help The Seal Project install this fantastic innovation.

The Seal Project
Based in Brixham, The Seal Project works across the South West surveying seals around the coastline. Covering Torbay and the South Hams they encourage others to support and protect the fantastic seals who we are fortunate enough to share our shores with.
The great work that Sarah and her team do to protect our native and vagrant seal population relies on the support of volunteers. If watching and surveying these wonderful marine mammals appeals to you, then do contact The Seal Project for more information.
One of Sarah's seals hauled out on a pontoon all the way over in Rock, on the North Cornwall coast the other day, a beautiful adult female. It was a surprise to see her!
