Alliance For Coastal Technologies

The Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT) is accepting preliminary applications from developers and manufacturers of commercially available in situ hydrocarbon sensors who are interested in participating in independent performance testing of their technologies. ACT will review responses from inter...

A new publication, based on data collected as part of the ACT Performance Verification of in situ turbidity sensors entitled Comparison of Inherent Optical Properties as a Surrogate for Particulate Matter Concentration in Coastal Waters, has just been released in Limnology and Oceanography Methods. ...

The Alliance for Coastal Technologies, Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology (CICEET), and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission collaborated on a "Technologies and Methodologies for the Detection of Harmful Algae and their Toxins" workshop in...

ACT is happy to announce the release of Verification Statements for the performance of eight different in situ salinity sensors. Instrument performance verification is necessary so that effective existing technologies can be recognized and so that promising new technologies can become available to s...

Demonstration of In Situ pCO2 Sensors ACT is accepting preliminary applications from developers, manufacturers, and distributors of in situ pCO2 sensors interested in participating in independent performance testing. ACT will review responses from interested parties and invite those with technologie...

ACT is happy to announce the release of Demonstration Statements for the performance of four different in situ nutrient analyzers. A key to the successful adoption, and transition to operational use, of new technologies is broad community awareness and confidence. The Alliance for Coastal Technologi...

We invite you to visit the Alliance for Coastal Technologies at the
Ocean Science Meeting in Orlando next week. We'll be in Booth 75 in the
exhibits area. We hope to see you there!
