We came across this research float for the second time this summer in nearly the same location. It says Alaska Dept of Fish and Game, Kachemak Bay Research Reserve. KBRR is tracking coastal uplift, sea level rise, and changes in salt marshes, monitoring water circulation patterns, collecting meteorological data, tracking water quality, etc., for the purpose of coastal management. We guess this float is part of the study on water circulation patterns.
