Oceanic data has always been valued. However, for decades now, the only way to reach the difficult oceanic environments has been expensive. For the longest time, the only solution to gather location information and oceanic data to and from turbulent and hostile waters was to either launch a satellite into space, or to station a stationary buoy. Or if that was not enough, millions of dollars were spent to send a government research vehicle to gather this data. Autonomous sail boats are sailing through the expanse of research vessels and are offering the government, the private industry and the universities, accessible and real-time valuable data on the location of and about fish and wildlife populations, ocean temperatures and climate change.
