May simply be the best in the land (and lakes). Led by buoy wrangler extraordinaire Jessie Grow, this fleet of smart, solar-powered stalwarts peppers the nearshore region across Lake Michigan, quietly collecting some of the most important environmental data for a wide array of users. From tracking water temperature and weather to monitoring waves, water quality and more, these buoys support everything from public safety and beach forecasts to the shipping industry and climate research. Used by boaters, anglers, swimmers, surfers, scientists, and policy-makers alike, these platforms are the real heroes \u2013 keeping a finger on the pulse of Lake Michigan and contributing to a smarter, more robust understanding of the Great Lakes overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/glos.org\/buoys-of-summer-uw-milwaukee-sfs\/\" rel=\"\">Read Full Article<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UWM School of Freshwater Sciences buoys are featured in Great Lakes Observing Systems&#8217; first &#8220;Buoys of Summer&#8221; feature in their monthly newsletter.
