Buoy systems
A buoy system involves floating devices equipped with sensors that monitor environmental conditions or maritime activity. These buoys are anchored in specific locations in oceans or lakes to collect data such as weather, water temperature, wave heights, or marine traffic. This information is transmitted wirelessly to researchers or maritime authorities to support navigation safety, climate research, and resource management. Some buoys also serve as warning systems for hazards like storms or oil spills. Overall, buoy systems enhance our understanding and safety of aquatic environments through continuous, automated observation from the water.
