As you can see from buoy location all the buoys are in the everglades national park.

There are about a half dozen buoys between Miami and the Dry Tortugas an extremely high use area. Thousands of boaters use this area and the buoys are down more than they are up.Right now we have a storm headed our way and there is no ocean data from Miami to Marathon an extremely important area. If all this was privatized we could have several dozen buoys in the region which is what is needed. If you look closer yo will see all kinds of info in florida Bay.That's just great except for the fact that you cant even get to half of them since the water is too shallow. Its a mess that needs to be straightened out

This hurricane season, forecasting is inhibited with lack of functioning buoys and a scarcity of ships reporting. We are limited to satellite loops and hurricane hunter flights for crucial info.
