The FIU CREST buoy was reported lost again today! Reply to @FIUEnvironment with any information! Or contact the IoE director @crowl_ta . The buoy provides cortical information to preserve the health if the Bay!

**BOLO** Our good friends and @FIU Institute of Environment @FIUEnvironment have lost their CREST research buoy! ! It's a highly specialized piece of equipment that is providing critical information about Biscayne Bay in real time. (This was key info during the fish kill.)

“We were really good at reacting to these events, but now we should be able to predict when they might occur,” says @gregorymurad
We want to ensure #BiscayneBay never sees anything like 2020's fish kill ever again: youtu.be/j82pP18wFe8
