Grow is part of a collaborative effort by UWM-SFS and NOAA working on the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast Sentinel project in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. It aims to deploy a real-time system to improve forecasting, support public safety decisions, and provide insights for researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grow explains, \u201cNearshore conditions in mid-Lake Michigan can change quickly, yet historically there have been few site-specific, continuously operating observing platforms in this region.\u201d In 2023, a grant from the Fund for Lake Michigan helped expand the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast Sentinel project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, WSCNMS started a pilot project that demonstrated the need for real-time lake data. The initial system used during the pilot comprised three small, \u201csmart moorings\u201d deployed within the WSCNMS and equipped to provide real-time wind, wave, and water temperature measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile these buoy systems have helped improve overall coverage and confirmed strong user engagement,\u201d Grow says, \u201cTheir design limits the types of measurements they can support, including water quality and current profiles. Additionally, some parameters are estimated rather than directly measured.\u201d<\/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:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/watching-a-freshwater-sea-monitoring-change-on-wisconsins-shipwreck-coast.htm\" rel=\"\">Read Full Article<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Specialist Jessie Grow was featured in a recent Environmental Monitor article on the development of National Marine Sanctuary&#8217;s &#8220;Shipwreck Sentinel&#8221; buoy.
