Welcome to the Maintenance Log for the PRSK1 CREWS station!

The station is in the process of being installed April 9th - 20th. It is an anchored buoy located west and south of the western edge of St. Kitts, and is owned and operated the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC or 5Cs) in collaboration with the Coral Reef Early Warning System (CREWS). CREWS handles the data stream and ecoforecasting for this station, and operates out of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML).

We are informally referring to the buoy as PRSK1 (Paradise Reef, St. Kitts the 1st).

The new buoy will be located at or near these coordinates:
N 17° 21.3724'
W 62° 51.2905'
