THE SAILBUOY PROJECT
New Marine Device Used for Scientific Observations in the Gulf of Mexico
Deep-C's SailBuoy was launched on March 15, 2013 approximately 11 nautical miles (nm) south of Cape San Blas. She will be at sea for approximately two months, during which time it will sail approximately 840nm on a cruise track that criss-crosses the Gulf coast, from the Florida Panhandle to West Louisiana. Its mission is to gather scientific data throughout the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. Read more...

Our SailBuoy is no longer nameless!
Deep-C’s “Name That Buoy” contest came to a close last week. We received many creative and well thought out entries from high school science classes around the state of Florida. But in the end, only one name could be selected. So after careful deliberation by our expert panel of judges, the winner is…(drum roll please!) Find out who won and what the SailBuoy's new moniker is...
