More than a million kilometers of submarine cables traverse the world's oceans, bringing Internet service to billions of people. This infrastructure could provide even more, adding invaluable environmental data for understanding the ocean above and the Earth beneath the seafloor. In light of this potential, an international joint task force is working to incorporate environmental monitoring sensors into transoceanic submarine cable systems.
