Spotter wave buoys are strategically deployed off Suva, Fiji, to enhance real-time wave observations that are crucial for meteorological forecasts and coastal management. The deployment of Spotter buoys, designed to collect metocean data and transmit it to key agencies, signifies a critical step in bolstering coastal safety and forecasting precision.

In October, 2020, stakeholders convening at the Suva Ocean Stakeholder Engagement Workshop explored deployment plans and maintenance strategies for these ocean monitoring devices, emphasizing the community's collaborative effort in safeguarding them.
