Overview
The Backyard Buoys project empowers Indigenous and other coastal communities to collect, steward, and use wave data that complements their existing knowledge to support their blue economy: maritime activities, food security, and coastal hazard protection. Innovations in the works include a modular, sustainable process for community-led stewardship of affordable ocean buoys and co-designed web-based applications that render data easy to access and to understand, and that bridge to Indigenous Knowledge.Share your interest in Backyard Buoys!
