The ocean plays a crucial role in regulating global climate systems and supporting marine ecosystems. Monitoring key parameters such as Seawater Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen levels is essential for understanding changes in oceanic biodiversity and their impacts on marine life. By evaluating these measurements, we aim to enhance our understanding of marine ecosystems. As we were learning about the ocean in MIRAIE, we collected Seawater Temperature at the surface and Dissolved Oxygen data from Mikawa Bay To the Philippine Sea. By our seven days of data collection experience, we have gathered Seawater Temperature at the surface and Dissolved Oxygen. We learned how this data can affect the ocean and people.
