The History Of The Australian Startup Ecosystem - Part 2About AusOcean
AusOcean, the Australian Ocean Lab, is a not-for-profit that develops and applies open-source ocean technology to help solve ocean science and conservation challenges. It designs, builds and deploys networked sea-surface platforms, known as “rigs”, and custom sensors such as underwater cameras, hydrophones and environmental sensors. It works with not-for-profit organisations and researchers on marine conservation and restoration, and collects and communicates ocean data across South Australia. Alan Noble founded AusOcean in 2017, and the ecologist Prof. Sean Connell of the University of Adelaide is a founding director. In 2023 AusOcean won at the SA Science Awards, in a collaboration with the University of Adelaide and other partners that used underwater sound to guide baby oysters to newly built reefs.
