Association for Integrated Coastal Ocean Observing (CaRA, http://cara.uprm.edu/)

July - NOAA asks mariners to safeguard Pacific data buoys. See the NOAA press release at: http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2009/20090722_buoydamage.html
July - NDBC has added the Coast Guard Light List Numbers (LLNR) for buoys to each buoy's station page, if the Coast Guard (CG) has assigned an LLNR to a buoy. The LLNR is also a hyperlink to the CG Navigation Center homepage with access to each CG District's current Light List. The Light Lists describe the lights, sound signals, buoys, daybeacons, and other aids to navigation. If the buoy is a dual purpose Aid to Navigation (ATON), the name of the ATON has also been added to the station page. This not only helps the CG and other mariners correlate NDBC buoys to ATON in the Light List Publications, but helps quickly identify drifters in broadcast notice to mariners.
July - NDBC has created mobile device accessible web pages so you can get current marine observations on your mobile device.
