Benthic lander

A benthic lander is an instrument or platform designed for studying the benthic zone, which is the lowest ecological zone in a body of water, including oceans, lakes, and rivers. This zone encompasses the sediments and the organisms living on or in the sediments at the bottom of these water bodies. Benthic landers are typically equipped with various scientific instruments and sensors to collect data on physical, chemical, and biological parameters in the benthic environment.
