Claim 12:
13. A system for geodesy in shallow water, comprising:
a moored device comprising a superstructure connected to a seafloor marker;
a computing device communicatively coupled to a sensor module connected to the superstructure; and
at least one application executable in the computing device, wherein, when executed, the at least one application causes the computing device to at least:
determine a position of the superstructure;
determine a heading, a pitch, and a roll of the superstructure; and
