[CINC] NOAA Adopt A Drifter Buoy Program

[Shauna Bingham]

Dear CINC Volunteers:

Yesterday, Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary took out two students
from Oak Park High School to deploy a drifter buoy from the R/V Shearwater.
The buoy will help to track currents and sea surface temperature off our
coast. It was deployed off the south side of Santa Cruz Island. I encourage
you to visit this link to learn more

As part of the buoy trip we also landed a group of volunteer docents from
the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, Ty Warner Sea Center, and UCSB Marine
Science Institute for a hike at Scorpion on Santa Cruz Island with park
ranger Bill Faulkner.It was great to see CINC volunteers Lola Lynch and Don
Abbott out at the island leading hikes for the public
