A yellow buoy floats in the water. It was a white tablet on top of it.
The hypoxia buoy floats after being deployed from the R/V Bay Commitment at the mouth of the Choptank River near Dorchester County, Md., on April 23, 2023. The crew connected the buoy to inductive wire and sensors along the wire. Data from three such monitoring stations will help researchers learn more about how changes in areas of the Chesapeake Bay with very low dissolved oxygen levels affect the distribution and abundance of different species.
