 The Shelf Research Fleet is a collaborative effort between fishermen and scientists to monitor the rapidly changing ocean environment. It provides fishers with real-time access to oceanographic data, allowing them to make informed decisions regarding their fishing practices. Additionally, the data collected by the fleet are shared with and analyzed by researchers from various institutions, providing valuable insight into oceanographic phenomena such as marine heat waves, shelf break exchange processes, and salinity maximums.
