"Opportunity Landscape"

Cost, Connectivity, Community (Maturity)

"science of citizen science"

testing as well as certification

sensors with history - QA of componenents - redundancy

Support and maintenance - needs a platform consultancy, OSH field team

"We would say 'start with your sensors'"

algal growth, contact sensors, use of mussels as cleaners as well as sensors

LiFePO4
LI phosphate - battery chemistry for weather extremes and water

IP67+ waterproofing

toxicity of waterproofing sprays

"the water will always win, it's just a question of time"

cable glands, invest in, get right (RS, where manufactured) PG7 / PG9

feedback of battery voltage to predict solar panel maintenance needs

IP67 / IP68 for submersibles

Copper or silver for algae deterrent

24hour submersion test protocol for anything deployed _near_ water

"Share calibration curves and field protocols" <--

"Document your experience - failures are valuable"

LoRa advertising, capacity for sensor testing

Select Platform, Test, Power, Deploy (locally), "Scale and share"

2 weeks in a test environment - 2 days isn't enough to spot degradation

"collaboration opportunities" - what does it lead in to - FOSS-style comms and coordination

camouflage, decoy ducks etc

feedback telemetry inside as well as outside the device (temp. changes affecting battery decay, etc) and early warning
