Real seaweed farms use special sensors, like the ones being developed by the World Wildlife Fund, to help alert farmers and technicians if animals get caught in the ropes. Some companies, like Blue Evolution, use different sensors to check environmental conditions to make sure the seaweed itself stays healthy.
Today, you’ll use the Climate Action Kit to build your own smart seaweed farm with sensors.
