Protected WaveClocks, Ocean Winds for Energy, and Seafloor Observations Show the Way!

Ocean Winds for Energy! We were inspired by the first U.S. offshore wind energy farm off of Rhode Island (see below) and released the completely new designs of the WaveClock! Check them out on ETSY and enter BIGWAVES now for your 20% summer discount! In other big news, NOAA is compiling measurements from the Gulf of Mexico and seeing the largest dead zone ever in the Gulf.  The condition arises due to lack of oxygen in the water. In more positive news, the University of Washington is maintaining their live seafloor observatory that measures seafloor volcanic activity. Some great ocean science! Don't forget to check out the latest WaveClocks. You're sure to love the great art from Wetfeet Photography and Ventana Surfboards and Supplies. Check them out on ETSY. Stay tuned and follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for the latest info. We'll let you know here first! Happy and Safe Summer to Everyone! The WaveClock Team Find Your WaveClock Here!

Offshore Wind Energy Grows The Offshore Wind Summit recently held in Houston, TX brough together experienced engineers from oil and gas and offshore wind developers to help bring decades of ocean experience to a new budding industry in renewable energy. Learn More! Truly a Dead Zone The hypoxic, or low oxygen, condition in the Gulf of Mexico can cause massive fish kills.  The dead zone for this summer is the largest ever measured in 32 years!  More at NOAA.   Internet of Things on the Seafloor Researchers at the University of Washington are heading out to maintain a deep sea cabled observitory. One of the key missions is to observe life around an undersea volcanoe, the Axial Seamount. Check out more!
