NOAA has deployed the seventh in a series of "smart buoys" to monitor weather conditions and water quality in the Chesapeake Bay. The buoy, located at the mouth of Severn River near Annapolis, Md., will be used by commercial and recreational boaters to navigate safely and provide data for educators and scientists to monitor the Bay's changing conditions.
