Wasn't me

One of the research buoys was cut loose & drifted into Oswego harbor:

I've written to USGS about buoys off Rochester & they said they weren't theirs.  They checked on the  sturgeon netting project but none were in the area.  They suggested that they may belong to an ESF or SUNY Brockport project.

 

Bottom line: There's going to be a few buoys out there this year.  Stay well away from them!  No one knows how they're anchored and it's definitely not worth losing gear over.
