The project had a strong industry support (Atlantis Resources Limited, MAKO Tidal Turbines Ltd, Spiral Energy Corporation Ltd).

CTD casts (profiles) were taken with two RBR CTDs: Maestro Generation 3 and Concerto Generation 2. The Concerto CTD was equipped with a turbidity sensor. The CTD units were lowered down in multiple configurations: strapped to the acoustic release used to deploy ADCP moorings or simply attached to a rope an a weight to ensure a profile as vertical as possible. GPS positions were recorded using a Garmin hand held GPS and confirmed by the vessel's GPS. ADCPs were deployed on tripod moorings equipped with acoustic releases and pop up buoys for further retrieval. ADCPs were configured to measure currents and waves. The moorings were deployed using an acoustic release, dropped with care on the seabed during slack tide. Retrieval was also performed during slack tide.

Statement: Seven field campaigns were conducted: four in Banks Strait, Tasmania, Australia; and three in Clarence Strait, Northern Territory, Australia: Banks Strait - Campaign A1 (13-3-2018 to 29-3-2018), - Campaign A2 (9-7-2018 to 13-7-2018), - Campaign A3 (6-12-2018 to 12-12-2018), and - Campaign A4 (15-2-2019 to 16-2-2019). Clarence Strait - Campaign B1 (21-05-2019 to 26-05-2019), - Campaign B2 (18-09-2019 to 21-09-2019), and - Campaign B3 (03-01-2020 to 05-01-2020). CTD casts (profiles) were taken with two RBR CTDs: Maestro Generation 3 and Concerto Generation 2. The Concerto CTD was equipped with a turbidity sensor.
