Blue Ocean Gear
Real-Time Buoy Monitoring
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Blue Ocean Gear brings complete visibility into your ocean monitoring infrastructure. Track your fishing gear or assets on the ocean in real-time with an interactive map, monitor sensor data, and manage buoy operations — all from your phone.
REAL-TIME BUOY TRACKING
View all your buoys on an interactive map with color-coded status indicators. Red markers flag faults, movement, or poaching events. Green means normal operation. Blue indicates resurfaced or entered-water events. Tap any buoy for full details.
COMPREHENSIVE SENSOR DATA
Monitor water temperature, depth measurements, wave height and period, dive count and duration, and position delta — all updated via satellite communication.
MOVEMENT HISTORY
Track where your buoys have been over customizable time ranges (1 day to 90 days). View the full path on the map with distance and time span statistics.
BUOY COMMAND & CONTROL
Switch buoy timing modes between Fast Update (frequent check-ins) and Long Life (extended battery) directly from the app. Track pending commands with real-time status updates.
SMART ALERTS
Color-coded status system immediately highlights buoys that need attention — faults, unexpected movement, poaching events, and low battery warnings are visible at a glance.
OFFLINE ACCESS
Smart caching keeps your buoy data available even without an internet connection. Clear the cache or force fresh data anytime from Settings.
CUSTOMIZATION
Choose your preferred timezone and coordinate format (decimal degrees or DMS). Settings apply throughout the entire app for a consistent experience.
Built for oceanographers, marine researchers, aquaculture operators, and maritime operations teams who need reliable buoy monitoring in the field.
Requirements:
- Active Blue Ocean Gear account
