Updating Deployment Location

The deployment location specifies where the buoy is anchored during normal operations. If your buoy is a Nemo Pi Smart Buoy and can report its own GPS location, then the deployment location and the reported GPS location may differ.

When the buoy is deployed, a location (in decimal degrees) and water depth (in meters) must be supplied.

Deploying a Buoy

When you deploy a buoy, you indicate that the buoy is now moored at the specified location. This process involves a few important steps.

Step 1: Deploy Now

1. Navigate to the Buoy's Settings page

2. In the General tab, click Deploy Now

Step 2: Deployment Location

In the deployment location you specify the coordinates (in decimal degrees) and water depth (in meters) where this buoy is moored.

Step 3: Mooring Conditions

Next, you have the ability to set up the dimensions (lengths in meters) of the vessels that can moor to you buoy. By default, all values are 0, indicating that your buoy does not support mooring.

Additionally, you can configure a usage disclaimer to notify others about the safe use of the mooring and an optional website detailing more information about this mooring.

Step 4: Publicity Settings

Lastly, you need to reconfigure whether this buoy appears on the public buoy map or not and whether your organization's name and/or logo is shown alongside your buoy on the map.

Click Deploy Now

Congratulations! Your buoy is now deployed and ready for monitoring.

Undeploying a Buoy

When you undeploy a buoy, you indicate that the specified buoy is no longer deployed at the specified mooring site. This process does not delete the buoy from your organization.

As a result of undeploying a buoy, the Buoy Dashboard becomes temporarily unavailable until the buoy is once again deployed. This action also removes your buoy from the public buoy map.

1. Navigate to the Buoy's Settings page.

2. In the General tab, click Undeploy Buoy
