Swift engineering proposes to provide a high quality, affordable, internet of things (IOT) enabled multi-functional, water sensor solution called "kelp." an affordable and self-powered buoy platform, kelp will be adaptable to changing needs of the global blue economy market. The first generation of this product specifically targets emerging markets in estuarine environmental monitoring, DAM and large-scale water storage facilities, harmful algae bloom (HAB) monitoring, and sewage and chemical outfall monitoring. Each of these markets presents a unique need to monitor multiple water quality parameters with high resolution and near real time data collection, which kelp is uniquely designed to provide. To serve the needs of these market, swift will develop several key features of the kelp system. Swift will develop software and hardware layouts to turn kelp into a modular system that allows for the addition of custom 3RD party sensors. Kelp will also be developed with RE
