Here you'll learn how to deploy a buoy, update its deployment location, and un-deploy a buoy.
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.
When you deploy a buoy, you indicate that the buoy is now moored at the specified location. This process involves a few important steps.
Important: You should enter the deployment location correctly via the buoy settings as it is used in alerts and calculations. Incorrect coordinates may result in incorrect alerts.
Navigate to the Buoy's Settings page
In the General tab, click Deploy Now
In the deployment location you specify the coordinates (in decimal degrees) and water depth (in meters) where this buoy is moored.
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.
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.
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.
Permissions: You must be an Editor or Owner.
Navigate to the Buoy's Settings page.
In the General tab, click Undeploy Buoy
