That gave us the concept: Basic Observational Buoy (BOB) that could be constructed and modified by its users to partner with high school faculty and students to gather water quality and physical oceanographic data on the St. Johns River (SJR) Florida In January 2009, we attended a workshop at Skidaway Institute of Oceanography in Georgia with Lundie and Doug to learn about BOB

Plan was for Jacksonville University faculty to work with Duval County teachers and students to construct a set of six buoys, deploy them in three different salinity regimes and retrieve associated data.

Actually built 10 buoys in a contest to see which survived a 3-day Float Test! Some survived- some didn’t

Some didn’t work as planned Some were BAD

Combination of JU MSC 101 and ACES students did the construction and field work

 Dissolved Oxygen  Air Temperature  Water Temperature  Conductivity (Salinity)  Thermocline  Wind Velocity  Water Velocity- Flow rate  Light

 Student Engagement  High level of participation  Innovative Design- almost a problem  Able to use at multiple educational levels  High school  Undergraduate  Graduate  Relatively low cost  Flexible platform for an array of sensors

 Everything takes longer than expected when working with groups of students!  Short battery life on data-logger  Pasco Explorer- GLX  Difficult to download data-  Problem solved by giving unit to students, along with the promise of a pizza, when they figured out to transfer data.
