Saildrones are Back!

Three Saildrones made their way into Tampa Bay and back to the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub (in the Port of St. Pete) earlier this week.  These autonomous surface vehicles have been at sea collecting data since early March.  They are a part of a large fleet of Saildrones around the world including several in the Caribbean and Gulf awaiting future hurricanes.
