Boston Globe Notes Funding For Buoy Research

The Boston Globe website included an Associated Press story about $1.7 million in funding for the Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems, known as NERACOOS, which includes UMaine’s Physical Oceanography Group and UMaine Professor Neal Pettigrew. The Bangor Daily News also ran the AP story, which mentioned the funding will enable researchers to collect data that will be used to benefit the fishing industry and commercial shippers.
