Combining expertise from the company's water quality, bathymetry and integrated systems activities, YSI Hydrodata will launch a new Marine Division at this year's Ocean Business event (5/7 April Southampton GB).

Offering monitoring solutions from portable instruments and AUVs to complete networked ocean buoys, the new division will build on YSI and SonTek's massive installed base of marine instruments and systems to provide customers with both off-the-shelf and bespoke solutions to marine monitoring requirements.
