SANY Buoy data

Falmouth Harbour Commissioners have become one of only two ports ever to have installed

a revolutionary water monitoring buoy in the Carrick Roads. The SANY Buoy is an EU funded

project that monitors current speed and direction, as well as turbidity and salinity levels in

the water. Information from the buoy is fed back to FHC, so that water quality levels can

be monitored. The current information will also be extremely useful in responding to

emergency situations, such as oil spills. The buoy can be found on the site of the Admiralty

Tidal Diamond “B”  (Chart 32) approximately 250m NE of the Eastern Breakwater Light in

Lat 50º 09.46  Long 05º 02.76 (WGS 84).
