... Long-Term Environmental Observatory LEO-15 at 15 meters depth was established in 1996 with the installation of an electro-fiber-optic cable extending 5 km offshore of the Rutgers Marine Field Station off the central coast of New lersey. The cable provides power and two-way communication to bottom robotic winch profilers.

... North East Pacific Time-series Undersea Networked Experiments The NEPTUNE project proposes to use fiber-optic cable to connect ~30 instrumented nodes on the fuan de Fuca plate in the northeast Pacific. Instruments connected to the nodes would provide physical, chemical, geological, and biological data in real-time.

... Pilot Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic PIRATA is a project that proposes to deploy and maintain an array of 12 buoys between 1997 and 2000, with the principal objective of describing and understanding the evolution of sea-surface temperature, upper-ocean thermal structure and air-sea fluxes of momentum, heat and fresh water in the tropical Atlantic. For additional information, see: http://www.ifremer.

... The three proposed cable lines include sections in the Strait of Georgia, Saanich Inlet, and the fuan de Fuca Strait. VENUS is intimately related to the proposed NEPTUNE observatory.
