Activated upon surfacing of mooringThe Witness Buoy will alert the user through the ARGOS satellite network of an inadvertent surfacing of an oceanographic mooring. The user then may decide to track and retrieve the mooring or cancel recovery of remote mooring strings. The OML Witness Buoy has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost equipment and ship time.
