You guys back east get some serious weather. Wonder how long it will
be before people die in one of your hurricances, due specifically to
lack of information that could have been provided by one of the out of
service weather buoys?

You have to consider that satellites can now provide much, if not all of the
data obtained with moored weather buoys, including temperature and sea
state.

They can't help with the dredging though.
