“Open Ocean Observatories Yellow Pages – O3YP”-
A Fixo3 output for all the community
The ESONETYellowPages have been created, in the framework of the ESONET Project, and developed under FixO3 project ( ). Currently named as OpenOceanObservatories YellowPages (O3YP) available at
The esonetyellowpages, aims to organize the information concerning on.the.shelf products for the development and mantainancme ofVdeep-sea Observatories

WP 2 – Technological harmonization
Open access catalogue of sensors, hardware and services related with ocean observatories;
Freely available on line;
All the users can search for specific sensors;
Authenticated users can add sensors, services or hardware;
Enhance links between the current users and the potential users.
This reference will help the user, or the client that is searching for a sensor, in its decision, allowing him to know about a real application of that sensor, and providing a reference.
In order to protect FixO3 about commercial or legal responsibilities about this reference a note is committed to this column informing: “* In this column, reference of use of this equipment in the FixO3 and other EC funded projects are mentioned. This reference reflects the feedback from the scientific community in what concerns the experience with a specific product, addressing reliability for long-term operations and the use in real deep sea or coastal conditions.  Neither the user, the EC project consortia nor the European Commission take commercial or legal responsibility of this information which is limited to establishing a link between existing data.”
