This station was installed on November 23rd, 2013. It is an anchored buoy located west and north of the western tip of Tobago not far from Buccoo Bay, and is owned and operated by Trinidad and Tobago's Institute for Marine Affairs (IMA) in collaboration with the Coral Reef Early Warning System (CREWS). CREWS handles the data stream and ecoforecasting for this station, and operates out of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML).
We are informally referring to the buoy as BUTO1 (Buccoo Reef, Tobago the 1st) although the National Weather Service in the US will also be giving it an all-numeric buoy designation.
