are full of information— THE OCEANS from data that can help protect at-risk species, to the most fuel-efficient routes
for ships, to measuring changes in the oceans so that scientists can better understand the effects of climate change. However, much of the ocean's data remains unknown—it is estimated that more than 80 percent of our oceans are unmapped and unexplored. A lifelong adventurer and the first woman to row across the Atlantic Ocean from mainland to mainland, Julie Angus co-founded Open Oceans Robotics to help explore the unexplored using autonomous energy-harvesting boats equipped with sensors and cameras. These boats, produced by Open Ocean Robotics, are used to make oceanic observations and instantly relay them safely and efficiently, transforming the way we explore and understand our oceans. We sat down with Julie to talk about how she got started, where marine robotics is headed, and what we should all know about our oceans.
