The Fundy Ocean Research Center for Energy (FORCE) will hold an open house event for its underwater platform on Monday.
The Fundy Advanced Sensor Technology (FAST) platform is in its final testing and sea trials after being deployed last month.
The FAST platform recoverable instrument platform is designed to monitor and characterize the FORCE site. Using a variety of onboard sensing equipment, the platform will help capture data from the Minas Passage, including currents and turbulence, marine life activity, noise levels, and seabed stability.
This will be the last chance to check out the platform at Parrsboro Wharf before it goes to sea.
