• In 2001 glass sponge reefs were discovered in the Straight of Georgia off the coast of British Columbia. Very little was known about why theses sponges grew where they did so a sensor net was needed to gather long-term data about the environmental conditions in areas where these glass sponge reefs were found. An underwater network called VENUS that became operational 8 February 2006 was located in close proximity to the area so it was possible to deploy a sensor net that connected to the VENUS system. This paper is concerned with a market survey, selection and evaluation of a single board computer (SBC) for use as a node for the glass sponge reef sensor net.
