A mariner checks the weather on the sanctuary's Internet Weather Kiosk before venturing out into the sanctuary. Th e Internet Weather Kiosk is a pilot project conceived by the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary and sponsored by NOAA's National Ocean Service and National Weather Service.
Mariners access the latest weather data from the Internet while they are fueling up.
The kiosk links to some 35 on-line Web sites that provide satellite, radar, buoy, swell model, and wind information for the Southern California Bight.
