A system and method for deterring theft of a marine vehicles is provided. The system is designed to collect barometric pressure data and analyze it to determine whether there has been a sudden change in elevation that may be indicative of a theft. The system is also designed to collect environmental data pertaining to a marine vehicle's normal environment and compare it to a normal environmental state of the marine vehicle in order to detect changes that may be indicative of a theft. Additionally, the system is designed to monitor equipment of the marine vehicle and alert a user if the equipment has been moved in a way that may be indicative of a theft. When the system determines an event has occurred that may be indicative of a theft, the system may alert the user by triggering an alarm via a computer readable signal.

An ice anchoring system includes a tether that is elongated and has a first end and a second end. An anchor is attached to the second end of the tether. The anchor has length dimension extending from a first later edge to a second lateral edge and a width dimension extending from a front side to a rear side. The length dimension is elongated with respect to the width dimension. The tether is secured to the anchor such that a longitudinal axis of the anchor extending through the first and second lateral edges forms an angle with a horizonal plane between 0° and 45° when the anchor is hung freely from the tether.

A system for cleaning rivers and waterways in general includes one or more floating modules, each having a floating body and a rotating body provided with projecting elements configured to be positioned on the water surface, so that, when the rotating body rotates due to the thrusting action of the water current, the projecting elements move floating debris in a direction determined by its rotation direction towards an accumulation or recovery area.

The present disclosure relates to water vessels with a bow-mounted detecting system and methods for monitoring movement of an anchor at a bow of a water vessel. More particularly, a water vessel as disclosed herein can include an anchor apparatus positioned in or on a hull of the water vessel at about a bow thereof, a detecting positioned in or on the hull of the water vessel at about the bow thereof and having a forward-directed field-of-view, and a display device adapted to receive from the detecting device and display one or more captured images of the forward scene. A method as disclosed herein can comprise providing a water vessel as disclosed herein, activating the display device to display the one or more captured images, and activating the anchor apparatus so as to cause motorized deployment or retrieval of an anchor. The water vessel can particularly provide for real-time monitoring of deploying and/or retrieving an anchor using the detecting device and the display device.

Devices, systems and methods for real-time wave monitoring are described. One example system for real-time monitoring of wave conditions includes a plurality of buoys, wherein each of the plurality of buoys comprises a sensor array configured to continuously monitor one or more characteristics of the wave conditions, a transceiver configured to transmit, to a remote server, information corresponding to the one or more characteristics of the wave conditions over a wireless communication channel, and a tether that physically couples the buoy to an anchor, wherein the information from each of the plurality of buoys is combined with a user preference to provide a user with a message regarding the wave conditions in response to a user request, and wherein a duration between the user request and transmission of the information from each of the plurality of buoys is less than a predetermined value.
