The developed system integrates in situ ocean sensor for monitoring purposes as well as a real-time communication tool for data transfer combined with a power generating module to sustain power for all modules.

1. Introduction The radioactivity levels of Naturally Occurring Radionuclides (NOR) exhibit spatial and temporal gradients due to the geochemical composition and geophysical conditions of the Earth’s crust, which affect geological materials such as sediments, sands, and rocks, which, under certain circumstances, can be considered as naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) [1]. NOR are also typically reported in the literature to support efforts to characterize aquatic systems.
