Team ANB Sensors, led by Nathan Lawrence, has created a sensor that measures pH levels and can withstand high pressure at deep sea levels.

Only five teams remain in the running to win up to $2 million to help save the world’s oceans. The finalists are building technology that aims to effectively measure the changing climate under the sea. The teams are currently in Hawai‘i and are set to embark on a 6-day trip off the coast of Oahu to test their innovations at deep sea levels. HPR’s Molly Solomon has more.
