    • Environmental Monitors on Lobster Traps Database

    Metadata Updated: May 24, 2025

    The eMOLT project is a non-profit collaboration of industry, science, and academics devoted to monitoring of the physical environment of the Gulf of Maine and the Southern New England shelf. In a series of phases funded by the Northeast Consortium (2001-2008), low-cost strategies have been developed to monitor the environment. While the primary variable is bottom temperature, salinity and current velocity have been measured as well with the help of nearly 100 lobstermen dispersed along the entire New England coast. We hope to extend our existing multi-year time series (as well as our monitoring capabilities), continue integration with the Northeast Regional Association for Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (NERACOOS), and contribute to whatever operational systems are developed for our region in the future.
