Overview
The Van Essen CTD-Diver works wherever there is a need to monitor groundwater levels and saltwater intrusion, injected wastewater, or contamination from chemical discharges and landfill sites. The CTD-Diver is equipped with a four-electrode conductivity sensor that measures electrical conductivity from 0 to 120 mS/cm. There are two options for measuring conductivity: true or specific conductivity at 25 degrees C. Additionally, pressure and temperature are measured and recorded.

Despite the bad rap sharks often get in the media, they are incredibly important to marine ecosystems. Still, sharks residing in coastal, high-traffic areas can pose a risk to public safety—as a result, shark tracking and monitoring projects are often conducted in these waters. 
 
Regardless of the bad press, biologists like Gregory Skomal, a Senior Fisheries Scientist with the MA Division of Marine Fisheries, have always been interested in learning more about shark behavior for the sake of informing conservation efforts. 
 
“I was passionate about sharks as a child. I wanted to be a marine biologist, and pursued it through my education and ended up where I am today,” recalls Skomal.
