Buoys back in Bay of Green Bay will bring data to boaters, researchers | WOODTV.com

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) — This week the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, University of Wisconsin and NEW Water partnered to put the Green Bay West and East buoys back on the water.They are fundamental tools used to measure current weather conditions like wind speed, air and water temperatures and wave height.

…In addition to monitoring the weather, the buoys play a role in tracking potential toxic algae blooms.

“In the lower bay here we have days when there are warnings when there are harmful algae blooms, and you shouldn’t go swimming,” stated Chris Houghton, who is with UW-Green Bay.
