"... an adequate initial [global ocean observation] system would require:
  • a stable network of satellites... ;
  • fixed stations taking continuous measurements on the seafloor or ... moored in the water column and at the surface;
  • small robot submarine ocean monitors... ;
  • marine animals ingeniously outfitted with electronic tags...;
  • merchant marine and research vessels ... observing along their routes;" - excerpt from this Underwater Times article.
