Buoy 39995

Launch date: 5 July 2003 at approximately 00:36 local time. Latitude: 60° 39.942´N, Longitude 151° 34.176´W

This buoy was released by CISPRI at the location marked by the light blue "plus" sign. Unfortunately, it was picked up by a charter boat captain and brought ashore on 15 July. Although scientific buoys should be left alone, we are glad that the Captain then contacted Ted Otis at ADF&G who then contacted our colleague Dr. Carl Schock of the Kachemak Bay Research Reserve. As the lower plot shows, the buoy is now drifting in Kachemak Bay and collecting scientific data. Its last location is marked by the red "plus" sign.
