Overview
The YSI Cable Grip Kit is designed to add redundant protection to your Field Cable, Flying Lead Field Cable, or Vented Flying Lead Field Cable for EXO and ProSwap Logger systems. Proper installation allows the 316 Stainless Steel (SS) parts to add additional support, and offers the best corrosion resistance currently available for high-fouling monitoring applications. The cable grip can serve many functions.
EXO Cables
Primary purpose is to act as a backup sonde retention system by clamping near the sonde connector end of the cable. It may also be used to provide strain relief for the connector (optional). The EXO cable connector is robust and does NOT require strain relief, but some users may opt to utilize this feature.
ProSwap Logger Cables
Provides a point of suspension or mounting for the ProSwap Logger by clamping near the connector end of the cable. This may be necessary to secure the cable for standalone applications. If connecting to an external power supply or DCP, the cable grip may be used as an optional retention system.

Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo Manages Monitoring Efforts in Morro Bay
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO), has been monitoring Morro Bay for decades, and while the monitoring program has changed over the years, the dedication to monitoring the bay has remained the same. The project started in 2006 as a Packard Foundation-funded initiative to monitor water quality flowing in and out of Morro Bay. The goal at the time was to use the data collected to develop and inform an ecosystem-based management plan in collaboration with the Morro Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP). Since the estuary was the focus at the time, researchers were monitoring water flowing into the estuary from Chorro Creek and Los Osos Creek.

Green Water in Green Bay: Using Data Buoys to Monitor the Southern Bay
While the bay of Green Bay has been referred to as the largest freshwater “estuary” in the world, the watershed hosts intensive agriculture and contributes one-third of Lake Michigan’s total phosphorus load. The Fox River flows into the bay, carrying excess nutrients largely the result of non-point source runoff from the watershed. With a history of deterioration extending well into the last century, the bay ecosystem suffered significant declines in water quality. This, in turn, stimulated major clean-up and ongoing restoration efforts to improve water quality. Tracking these changes is an important aspect of ecosystem management.

Cross-Border Sewage Contaminated Flows: Monitoring the Tijuana River
The Tijuana River runs across the US-Mexico boundary, flowing into and throughout southern California, carrying with it nutrients and contaminants throughout the estuary. In recent decades, the flows have been heavily polluted with untreated sewage from the City of Tijuana. The wastewater enters the greater Tijuana River estuary, impacting coastal communities and disrupting the natural environment. In order to better understand these cross-border flows, researchers out of San Diego University sought to monitor the waterway test the capabilities of in-situ sensors to measure the contaminated water. Natalie Mladenov and Trent Biggs were two of the researchers involved in the project, deploying a real-time monitoring system in May of 2021.
