Oceanographers are trying to get away from capturing snapshots of the state of the ocean that is the result of loading up a ship and collecting data once every 6 months.
The goal is to set up sensor stations that live on the bottom and collect data upon demand, or even continuously. OOI is a massive program which will accomplish this, though at a high cost. The attached article covers the idea pretty well.
Since I manufacture oceanographic sensors for a living this is good news! :)
