Three different colored lines representing the path of drifting buoys over time off shore of San Francisco. The green path represents a buoy that has gone rogue and off of the map. Map of the California coast near San Francisco. The tracks of different buoys are shown as different colored lines. Drift number 5 (white) was a typical deployment. Drift number 2 (pink) headed offshore but was recovered. Drift number 8 (green) continued beyond the lower limit of the map and was never recovered. Credit: NOAA Fisheries / Taiki Sakai.
