“If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.”

We’re working to make RoboSub a meaningful contributor to marine conservation efforts in Tahoe, Monterey, and beyond.

Email us to get involved or talk about research collaborations!

Tahoe

We’re collaborating with U.C. Davis’s Tahoe Environmental Research Center to:

  1. image toxic metaphyton and invasive Asian clams on the East Shore

  2. 3D map hard-to-reach terrain, like Tahoe reef

  3. prototype eDNA collection and processing from our vehicle

And are conducting our first field trial in August of 2025

MonterEy

We’re exploring kelp forest conservation research in Monterey, with plans to publish in academic conferences. More information coming soon…
