## Description
The purpose of this Procurement is to procure for at-sea mooring units, equipped with state-of-the-art broadband acoustic recorders, pop-up acoustic retrieval systems and tag detection capabilities, and delivered to a workshop in Pembrokeshire, Wales, that will be deployed with CTD environmental sampling at service intervals to maximise data capture. S3 will deploy up to 21 remote systems across the Celtic Sea, each consisting of an acoustic release, a fish tag detector, a hydrophone, and a cetacean click-train logger. Where feasible, preference will be given to integrated solutions that combine multiple components-such as fish tag detection and acoustic release-into a single unit to enhance efficiency and deployment simplicity.
