Dr Bastien Queste is an oceanographer at Sweden's Gothenburg University who is currently working on a project funded by a foundation called Voice of the Ocean to use autonomous drones that capture oxygen data. Countries surrounding the sea need to gather reliable data on how much oxygen is present in the water before they can even consider making interventions. The problem is that the traditional approach to monitoring offers limited information. Research ships might be sent on monthly expeditions to gather data, or pontoons can be left in one place to take measurements. However, these approaches only offer partial information.
