LoRaWAN Water Monitoring
ShellSense puts industrial water quality sensors in your lease with 30-minute alerts for salinity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature — built for NC coastal oyster farmers.
Alert window for dangerous conditions
LoRa range over open water
Focused on coastal NC farmers first
Why ShellSense
Low DO events are the #1 cause of unexplained oyster mortality. ShellSense monitors continuously and texts you the moment levels drop toward the danger zone — not after.
Heavy rain can flush a lease with freshwater in hours. Know immediately when salinity drops, so you can intervene before stress kills your crop or triggers regulatory closures.
Track warming and cooling events tied to spawning conditions, disease risk, and growth rate. Historical data helps you understand your lease across seasons.
Your lease doesn't have internet. Ours doesn't need it. ShellSense uses LoRa radio to send readings to the cloud from miles offshore, on a 5-year battery.
No app to install, no dashboard to check. When something's wrong, we text your phone. Set your own thresholds. Acknowledge and silence with a reply.
Every reading timestamped, stored, and exportable. Your water quality history in one place — useful for compliance documentation and lease renewal applications.
The system
We deploy an industrial-grade sensor package — EC probe for salinity, fluorescence DO sensor, temperature — on a float or stake in your growing area.
Every 30 minutes, the node wakes up, takes readings, and transmits wirelessly to The Things Network. Range up to 10km over water. No cellular, no WiFi.
ShellSense checks every reading against your thresholds. One crossed — you get a text. No alert means conditions are normal. Simple.
Every reading stored in your account. Review trends, export data, and understand how your lease changes across tides, storms, and seasons.
