“Having the Duro Sonde in Gowanus Bay has transformed RETI Center's ability to report data and really understand critical ways our water changes from moment to moment over long periods of time. Without this invaluable tool we couldn't measure our baseline or test for impact this kind of precision or accuracy. It's a transformation in our aquatic science program.”

RETI Center
“The data generated by the Duro Sonde is invaluable to the work that we do and will greatly increase our ability to protect the river and our local communities.”

“We have been utilizing the Duro UAS Sonde units to monitor and collect data on our open water aquaculture seaweed farms in Maine as well as in our seaweed nursery and laboratory.
The units are well built, easy to deploy and operate, and supported by a great team of folks. We utilize a variety of data collection tools and the Duro units are one of the most valuable.”

“Couldn’t resist looking at this in more detail. This suggests that the reduced species are derived from the salt water, not the fresh water. The low ORP probably reflects the sulfites and other reduces species bleeding out of the sediments after being processed by the marsh sediments.
This is exactly what I have been trying to show with the discrete measurements – you can see it in the discrete data, but the continuous autonomous recording done with the Duro Sonde really nails it and shows how invaluable the autonomous data are.”
