New Delhi: The Indian Coast Guard has successfully recovered a vital scientific data buoy that had drifted more than 150 kilometers away from its designated position in the Bay of Bengal. The buoy had been carried away from waters near the Nellore coast of Andhra Pradesh.
The instrument plays a crucial role in collecting essential oceanographic and meteorological data, including wave patterns, sea temperature, ocean currents, and weather conditions. This information supports accurate weather forecasting, marine research, coastal security, and disaster management efforts.
Despite challenging sea conditions, the Coast Guard carried out a precise recovery operation and safely retrieved the equipment. The successful mission has reinforced India’s marine scientific research capabilities and contributed significantly to safeguarding national interests.
