Bellamare and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, partnered in 2015 to develop a large scale deployment of lagrangian drifters. Under the leadership of Dr Tamay Ozgokmen, the development of the first biodegradable drifters was started, and 500+ drifters were launched in the summer of 2016.

 

The CARTHE drifters performance, affordable price range and unique biodegradable properties have made it the drifter of choice of many surveys.

​

The next step: a biodegradable parachute to allow for rapid and economic deployment of the drifters from small aircrafts.
