A floating, deploy-able, remote, and autonomous water quality monitoring device. The device is placed in waterways or the ocean, and floats on the water giving position and speed (via GPS or GNSS), remote connectivity to 'cloud' computing, and a range of water measurements (such as electrical conductivity (EC), temperature, depth sounding, and turbidity). A small camera may also be included to capture an image as the device floats along. The device runs on solar panels and/or batteries. 0 ) C m _0 pD
