Backyard Buoys Training in Taholah

Backyard Buoys members from the University of Washington led a training session at the Quinault Indian Nation Division of Natural Resources in Taholah, WA, on March 31, 2026. Quinault Indian Nation community members learned more about the wave buoy, data collection, and mooring strategy. The hands-on training led to many comments on how deploying a Backyard Buoys wave buoy seemed similar to other fishing practices, just a different application of using lines, weights, buoys, splicing, and anchoring. We look forward to continued operations led by the community.
