The AR4RT Acoustic Release is a specialized system designed to support ropeless trap deployments for environmental monitoring, research, and sustainable marine operations. By using an acoustic signal to trigger trap retrieval, the AR4RT eliminates the need for persistent vertical lines in the water column, reducing entanglement risks to protected marine species and minimizing seafloor disturbance.

This acoustic release system is well-suited for offshore and nearshore monitoring programs, gear testing, and marine research applications where compliance with conservation measures is required. Built for reliability in challenging marine environments, the AR4RT enables precise trap recovery while supporting environmentally responsible field operations and data collection efforts.
