Ndị na-ekwu okwu ọmụmụ ihe gụnyere White House Science Envoy for Ocean, Dr. Jane Lubchenco, Dr. Roshan Ramssur na Mahadum Mauritius, na ndị na-azụ ihe mmetụta oké osimiri na ndị ọkà mmụta sayensị Dr. Andrew Dickson nke UCSD, Dr. Sam Dupont nke Mahadum Gothenburg, na James Beck, CEO nke Sunburst Sensors.

APHRICA kemgbe ọtụtụ afọ na-eme, na-amalite site na ịmepụta ngwá ọrụ ihe mmetụta pH nke oké osimiri, na-etinye aka na ndị ọkachamara na-eduzi na ịkwalite ego iji mee ka ndị mmadụ na-anụ ọkụ n'obi na teknụzụ ọhụrụ ọnụ iji mee ihe ma mejupụta oghere data oké osimiri dị mkpa. Julaị gara aga, XPRIZE nyere na $2 nde Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE, asọmpi ihe nrite maka ịzụlite ihe mmetụta pH nke oké osimiri iji meziwanye nghọta nke acidification oké osimiri. Otu afọ ka e mesịrị, otu mmeri Sunburst Sensors, obere ụlọ ọrụ dị na Missoula, Montana, na-enye ha 'iSAMI' oké osimiri pH sensọ maka ọrụ a. Nke iSAMI a họọrọ n'ihi oke ego ya na-enwetụbeghị ụdị ya, izi ezi na ịdị mfe iji. 

James Beck, CEO nke Sunburst Sensors na iSAMI (n'aka nri) na tSAMI (n'aka ekpe), abụọ na-emeri oké osimiri pH sensọ nke $2 nde Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE. The iSAMI bụ ihe dị mfe iji, nke ziri ezi na ọnụ ala pH ihe mmetụta oké osimiri, nke a ga-ebunye na ApHRICA.
