Abstract: An autonomous biobuoy system and methods for detecting characteristics of a marine environment, the system involving: a light source comprising a blue light emitting diode; a detector assembly for detecting the at least one characteristic of the marine environment, the detector assembly having a single photodiode configured to detect stimulated bioluminescence and transmissivity in response to the light source, the detector assembly configured to generate at least one detector assembly output signal responsive to at least one detected characteristic; and a transmitter coupled with the detector assembly for transmitting the at least one detector assembly output signal.
