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.

Kudos to our friends at the USF College of Marine Science for hosting their third Art and Science night. They welcomed artists to explore the marine science labs, do hands on experiments, and talk to local scientists about their work. Their goal was to inspire new pieces of art which will be showcased in an exhibit in early 2025.
