The FIU CREST buoy was reported lost again today! Reply to @FIUEnvironment with any information! Or contact the IoE director @crowl_ta . The buoy provides cortical information to preserve the health if the Bay!
**BOLO** Our good friends and @FIU Institute of Environment @FIUEnvironment have lost their CREST research buoy! ! It's a highly specialized piece of equipment that is providing critical information about Biscayne Bay in real time. (This was key info during the fish kill.)
