Two solitary data buoys floating off the storm-tossed Lake Superior shore near Munising and Granite Island were sudden stars in 2017.
Dredging done correctly doesn’t hurt water quality, and can yield positive environmental results. However, ensuring these good results demands monitoring for contaminant release, sediment resuspension, and other water quality issues.
There are many ways to deploy monitoring buoys, and many situations that might benefit from the monitoring power this kind of platform brings.
The Regional Science Consortium provides weather and water quality data to collaborators at Lake Erie and the upper Ohio River Basin.
