To All Interested in Buoy Technology

The 9th ONR/MTS Buoy Workshop will be held March 5 to 8, 2012 in the beautiful city of Victoria, capital of the Province of British Columbia, Canada.  We will meet at the Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour Hotel in the city center.

This will be our first meeting abroad, just over the border from Seattle.  In addition to the Speaker Program, the 2-1/2 day workshop will include one afternoon of site excursions to the Institute of Ocean Sciences (IOS) buoy operations group and  Axys Technologies, Inc., which has executed the Canadian weather buoy systems in close cooperation with the U.S. National Data Buoy Center.   

We are looking forward to the biannual update on the rapidly expanding technology of oceanographic and other data buoy components and systems.
