Booby Prize

A booby flies by and checks out the WHOI Hawaii Ocean Time-series Station (WHOTS III) shortly after researchers and technicians deployed it off of Hawaii in June 2006 from the research vessel Revelle (visible in the background). A WHOI research team, including physical oceanographer Al Plueddemann, is headed back to sea this week to recover the buoy and set a new one.
