Deployments in the field
Here are a few of the sites where SeaSignal radar is running, from Maine to Florida.
University of New England
Saco Bay, Maine
The University of New England asked SeaSignal to install wave sensors on Ram Island near the Saco jetty, as part of its coastal observing network across southern Maine.
The radar shows how waves refract and lose energy around the Camp Ellis jetties, and maps surface currents and bathymetry across Saco Bay.
Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association
Naknek River, Alaska
Working with Coastal Measures and BioSonics, SeaSignal set up a pilot to count migrating salmon on the Naknek River in real time. In May 2026 the team installed a split-beam sonar near the riverbank, running on solar power and batteries and sending data over Starlink to a live dashboard.
The system ran without downtime through the 2026 sockeye and king salmon runs, and its preliminary counts closely tracked the run timing in the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s escapement record.

Plymouth, Massachusetts
Co-founders Jon Waddell and Jesse McNinch installed this wave sensor system in person.
University of Central Florida
Florida Atlantic coast
A research collaboration with the UCF Marine Turtle Research Group is testing whether the radar can detect sea turtles nesting on the beach or swimming in the surf zone.
The work is helping fill key gaps in sea turtle conservation data.
Photos from the field
The University of New England reached out to SeaSignal to install wave sensors on Ram Island near the Saco jetty. In the photo, Jon Waddell, co-founder of SeaSignal, shows students how the sensors are installed.
