Vanuatu launches Ocean Monitoring Network

The Vanuatu Ocean Monitoring Network is a chain of six ocean climate monitoring buoys deployed across the archipelago to monitor how climate change is affecting the ocean around the country, and to provide early warning to communities and key agencies of impending climate-related events.

The buoys are deployed at Port Vila, Efate; Million Dollar Point, Santo; Lonnoc Beach, Santo; Port Resolution, Tanna; Inyeug Island, Aneityum and Tomman Island, Malekula.
