Description
Brandy T. Cervantes and co-authors describe twenty six years of ocean buoy data from a marine sanctuary off Washington State in a 2026 data article. The sanctuary, named in 1994, sits in a rich cold current system rocked by heat waves, warm phase years, low oxygen, and acid seas. Four coastal treaty tribes hold protected rights to sea goods there, so sound local sea records carry legal as well as science weight.
Buoys at fifteen sites on five cross shelf lines have logged water heat, salt, oxygen, pressure, and flow since 2000, chiefly in the summer upwelling season. Two sites also log winter heat all year in recent runs. Cleaned joined series now sit in a public store for free reuse in climate and care of the sanctuary.
