Equipped with type AEM-RS electromagnetic current meter, the buoy provided effective technical platform for on-site rapid monitoring of the ocean current. Performance index and usage in the ocean current buoy of AEM-RS was introduced. Ultrasonic cleaning method in seawater was developed for preventing AEM-RS from biofouling. Ocean current data can serve for oceanographic research and marine resource exploitation.

Although the Galapagos Islands were first colonized over 160 years ago, the major impact on the marine resources by local fishermen has occurred only during the last 40–45 years. During this period, and especially more recently, a lack of attention to the largely uncontrolled fishery has led to confusion, a conflict of interests, and a series of inapplicable laws and regulations. Changing markets, exploding human populations, and a new approach to marine resource exploitation, with minimum investment and maximum expectation, has led to a chaotic situation in which neither the fishermen nor the Galapagos National Park will ultimately benefit.
