YSI Integrated Systems & Services offers the ability to integrate a YSI field cable into a manual, hand crank cable reel assembly. This cable reel gives a customer the ability to conduct a manual profile of a water column using a YSI EXO sonde and a YSI handheld device. The cable reel consists of a slip ring containing 6 conductors specifically designed for the YSI EXO sonde. It’s designed to fit up to 500 feet (152 meters) in cable length.
A standard YSI field cable for the EXO sonde can be purchased at the same time as the cable reel. If the customer already has a YSI field cable that they would like to add onto a cable reel, they can send it in at the time of purchasing the reel and it can be installed.
The standard procedure is that a 10 foot section of cable will be cut on the handheld end of the field cable to be integrated into the slip ring on the reel. The customer may specify a different length that they would like cut at the time of purchase. The remaining length of cable will be installed onto the cable reel drum and integrated into the opposite side of the slip ring so that it becomes mated with the remaining cable to allow communication between the handheld unit and the sonde.

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.

Using Data Buoys to Track Sharks in Cape Cod
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.
