Backyard Buoys in the PNW

Backyard Buoys is a collaboration between NANOOS, AOOS, PacIOOS, Sofar Ocean Technologies, and coastal Indigenous partners in each region on a community-led ocean observing project originally funded by the NFS Convergence Accelerator program. Backyard Buoys uses simple and affordable instruments, called "Spotters", to put access to and stewardship of ocean data in the hands of those most affected by unsafe sea conditions on the coast. This video highlights how two PNW communities, the Quileute Tribe and the Quinault Indian Nation, are using these low-cost buoys.
