Overview
The YSI EcoSense EC300M offers convenient measurements of conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, total dissolved solids, and temperature in many field applications.
Accuracy
The YSI EcoSense instruments provide accurate data in the most affordable package. The "M" stands for memory, and the instruments feature a real-time clock, larger memory and simple data transfer to a PC with a built-in USB port. The EC300M utilizes a stable, 4 nickel electrode sensor design that results in accurate measurements. The EC300M measures conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and temperature with the following features:
- IP-67 rated casing
- Durable field probes and cables made in the USA. 1-,4- and 10-meter field cables available
- Waterproof micro-USB port for transferring data to PC; no software required.
- Holds 250 data sets
- Real-time clock for date/time stamp of saved data.
- User-selectable re-calibration prompt
- Automatic temperature compensation.
- Stable, four-electrode design provides accurate field measurements.
- 1-year warranty on the instrument and probe/cable assembly.

Wave-Powered Buoy Deployed in Puget Sound
While the development of solar-powered monitoring systems has improved access to real-time environmental data, solar power is still limited by low light conditions, such as poor weather, nighttime, or high-latitude environments. To supplement these incumbent power solutions at sea, Ocean Motion Technologies has developed a small-scale ocean wave energy system that can be directly integrated with existing data buoy platforms. Not only does wave energy supplement solar power during periods when the buoys are limited by light availability, but it also allows data buoys to perform beyond their current power capacities.

With a widely developed shoreline, Chautauqua Lake experiences influxes of non-point source pollution that have historically impacted the health of the lake. The Chautauqua Lake Association (CLA) has been monitoring the lake for over two decades, reporting on changes that have occurred over the years. A pair of local lake advocates, Jane and Doug Conroe, have lived on the lake for over 40 years and have played an important role in establishing monitoring programs and facilitating consistent data collection throughout the watershed. Doug has been involved with the Chautauqua Lake Association (CLA) since the pair moved to the area in 1980, and is currently serving as the Executive Director.

The Herring River system encompasses around 1,000 acres in the Towns of Wellfleet and Truro, Massachusetts. In 1909, the Chequessett Neck Road dike was built at the river’s mouth, drastically limiting tidal flow. Today, it’s one of the most restricted estuaries in the northeastern United States. As a result, the area has suffered environmental decline, including poor water quality, hypoxia, lower pH, and salt marsh degradation. In 2023, the Town of Wellfleet received $14.7 million from NOAA’s Office of Habitat Conservation to fund the Herring River Restoration Project (HRRP). Francesco Peri, President and CEO at Charybdis Group LLC, uses a network of NexSens data loggers to monitor water level and water quality on the Herring River.
