Buoy Touchdown at La Parguera

The MAP-CO2 Buoy is lifted from the crane's truck bed to the dock at La Parguera near the Laboratory, where Noah Lawrence-Slavas (in hard hat) will conduct preliminary wiring and installation of instruments before the buoy is lifted into the sea for towing by small boat to the Laboratory's harbor area.
