Two New Buoys Bring Wave Monitoring to Lower Green Bay

Written by NEW Water | July 24, 2026

NEW Water was one of the five organizations selected through the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) Coastal Monitoring RFP for funding a coastal hazard project. 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. 

Check out the the buoys data on Seagull Platform:

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
