A new buoy in the center of Caspar Cove is collecting a range of measurements about ocean conditions, such as wind speed and sea surface temperature, that can help researchers and ocean recreationists alike.
Zack Johnson, an engineer at ocean technology company Sofar Ocean Technologies, and Tristin McHugh, who lives in Fort Bragg and works on kelp restoration with The Nature Conservancy, talk about the importance of having the buoy at Caspar Cove.
