The Seawater intake station is maintained by Moss Landing Marine Laboratories who share the data with CeNCOOS. Data collected includes temperature, conductivity, salinity, fluorescence, beam attenuation, transmission, dissolved oxygen, dissolved organic saturation, pH, and tide height. Seawater data observations are collected from raw seawater drawn through an intake pipe. The pipe intake opening is located at 36.8025N and 121.7915W and is ~16.6m (54.4ft) below MLLW. The seawater sensors are cleaned of biofouling agents on a weekly/twice-weekly interval, though some data drift can be observed in transmission, beam attenution, and fluorescence. These nearshore sensors are part of the Central and Norther California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS). They measure various water quality parameters at fixed points along the California coast.

The Morro Bay shore station is maintained by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. The station has been operational since 2007 and consists of four sensors. This station is fixed to the North T-pier approximately one meter below the surface and located near the mouth of Morro Bay. These sensors provide near-real time observations of ocean water conductivity, salinity, temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity and nitrate. These nearshore sensors are part of the Central and Norther California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS). They measure various water quality parameters at fixed points along the California coast.

The Humboldt shore station is located on the Chevron dock and is maintained by Humboldt State University. This station has been active since November 2012 and is the replacement system of the previous water quality station at Dock B. In August 2015 PAR and Solar Radiation sensors were added to the instrumentation suite. These nearshore sensors are part of the Central and Norther California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS). They measure various water quality parameters at fixed points along the California coast.

The Monterey shore station is maintained by Moss Landing Marine Labs. The station has been operational since 2012 and consists of in water sensors that are fixed to a pier sampling every 15 minutes. These sensors provide near-real time observations of ocean water salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity and pH.

The Tuluwat (Indian Island) shore station is maintained by the Wiyot Tribe's Natural Resources Department who share the data with Humboldt State University and CeNCOOS. The station has been operational since 2004 and consists of subsurface sensors mounted rigidly to a piling. The sensors provide near-real-time observations of water salinity, conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH, depth, and chlorophyll fluorescence. Near real-time data from the sensor became available 2/19/16 and is available in 15 min increments. These nearshore sensors are part of the Central and Norther California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS). They measure various water quality parameters at fixed points along the California coast.

The Bodega Head shore station is a seawater intake site operated by the Bodega Marine Laboratory. The seawater intake is located at Horseshoe Cove on the ocean side of Bodega Head and has been active since 2003 and consists of various sensors that provide water temperature, conductivity and salinity. These nearshore sensors are part of the Central and Norther California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS). They measure various water quality parameters at fixed points along the California coast.
