The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation is in the process of replacing its River, Estuary and Coastal Observing Network (RECON) with the newest components available. It reported that global supply chain issues triggered by the pandemic have caused delays in acquiring many of the new components, but it recently received the first major one: the NexSens Technology X2-MCSDL data logger. Unlike the original loggers, which use a separate modem to transmit the data, the X2-MCSDL combines the data logger and modem in one unit, simplifying the deployment and operation of the system. The SCCF noted that there is no timeline on project completion due to the supply chain delays.
