NEW Water will deploy three buoys in Lower Green Bay (two new and one upgraded), each equipped with wave and weather monitoring. These buoys will help fill a critical observing gap by better characterizing local wave conditions - supporting safer decisions for recreational boaters and commercial vessels.

NEW Water has two long-term monitoring stations to help tell the story about water quality and aid in understanding our receiving water. Check out our buoys: [Aquatic Monitoring: Water Data](https://www.newwater.us/programs/aquatic-monitoring/water-data)
