A year ago the crew of the NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson, in collaboration with NOAA IOOS, CDIP, and the University of Maine, recovered the CARICOOS Rincon buoy after it was ripped from its mooring during hurricane María. One year later, while the Thomas Jefferson was in the port of San Juan, CARICOOS staff visited the ship to thank them for recovering the buoy. CARICOOS executive director Julio Morell addressed Captain Chris van Westendrop and his crew to acknowledge their work in port recovery efforts post-hurricane María.
