NOAA Deploys “Smart Buoy” in the Potomac River near Washington, D.C.

The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office deployed a “smart buoy” today in the Potomac River, just south of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. This buoy—closest to our nation’s capital—is the newest in NOAA’s Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS), a network that provides scientists, boaters, and educators with real-time data about the Bay.
