The buoy can float at the surface (lasting 3–4 years) or lie subsurface to avoid detection and surface hazards such as weather and ship traffic. Subsurface FADs last longer (5–6 years) due to less wear and tear, but can be harder for fishers to locate.
A buoy (/ ˈ b ɔɪ, b uː. i /; boy, BOO-ee) [1] [2] is a floating device that can have many purposes. It can be anchored (stationary) or allowed to drift with ocean currents. History

A Japanese glass fishing float. Glass floats were used by fishermen in many parts of the world to keep their fishing nets, as well as longlines or droplines, afloat.. Large groups of fishnets strung together, sometimes 50 miles (80 km) long, were set adrift in the ocean and supported near the surface by hollow glass balls or cylinders containing air to give them buoyancy.
The Okee-Tantie area where the buoy has been seen is about 105 miles south of Orlando. Sightings of tagged animals in the state can be reported to the FWC by calling 888-404-3922.
In 2001, an oarfish was filmed alive in the wild. The 1.5-metre (4.9-foot) fish was spotted by a group of U.S. Navy personnel during the inspection of a buoy in the Bahamas. The oarfish was observed to propel itself by an amiiform mode of swimming; that is, rhythmically undulating the dorsal fin while keeping the body itself straight. Perhaps ...
