Oceano-meteorological buoy MARETO (Málaga)

MARETO, the “Málaga Real-Time Observatory,” is an underwater observatory equipped with sensors that enable the real-time collection of oceanographic data for various studies under the LifeWatch Alborán project.


The infrastructure consists of a surface buoy and a submerged structure that protects the equipment installed inside. MARETO comprises:

LAND NODE. This is where the server with applications for monitoring and controlling the maritime node is located.

MARITIME NODE. It consists of:

- Surface Marine Node: Includes the buoy, mooring weights, power supply between the buoy and the underwater node, cable protection system, and acoustic profiler. The buoy houses the battery storage area, solar panels for powering the sensors and the communication node, antennas, and the meteorological station.

- Underwater Node: Includes the protective structure and the equipment inside it (CTD, sensors for measuring oceanographic variables, hydrophone, and cameras).


The buoy’s structure is designed to withstand the tension generated by the underwater cable. It contains the control electronics for the observatory, which allow for the connection of various sensors. The buoy is located in front of the Balneario del Carmen. With a length of 550m and a width of 15m.
