Powering science-based decisions, for a better ocean
For Scientists, By Scientists
Sea-Bird Scientific exists to help scientists know the world — and shape policy that changes it for the better. We enable good science, providing tools that will go into the most punishing ocean conditions and come back with data that is meticulously accurate. Our standard is high because we, ourselves, are part of the scientific community: we guarantee that the instruments our customers use are the instruments we’d want in our own fieldwork. And we’re always available to consult and offer guidance, because supporting science starts with supporting scientists.
For the scientists committed to making a positive impact, in research initiatives across the globe, in every ocean condition: It’s Sea-Bird Scientific.

A 100-Year-Old Sailing Ship Becomes a Modern Platform for Ocean Science
Aboard the Statsraad Lehmkuhl, researchers use a Sea-Bird Scientific system to profile the water column at depths of up to 1,200 meters. The system measures conductivity, temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen, pH, chlorophyll, turbidity, backscattering, and light distribution, even as the crew works around challenging waves, drift, cable angles, and limited deck space.
Through the One Ocean Expedition, these measurements are contributing to a broader picture of ocean conditions across the globe.
Read the case study to see how ocean science, sailing, and instrumentation come together at sea.
