In response to the NOAA-NOS-ioos disaster relief supplemental act (drsa), this proposal details the actions to be conducted to acquire, install, and service the observing assets damaged by hurricane fiona in 2022. The caricoos observing network proved to be resilient during the impact of a hurricane, providing stakeholders and users with real-time oceanographic and meteorological data during the event. However, several assets were damaged by the weather conditions generated. Therefore, caricoos will acquire a new HFR system to replace the damaged one in LOS morrillos lighthouse in cabo rojo, puerto rico, and two low-cost wind sensors to replace the ones damaged in LOS morrillos lighthouse and ponce yacht club. A new mooring system for the rincon wave data buoy with a new design/new material to hold the tension generated by strong wave-induced currents. The funds will also provide support for the inspection, relocation, and installation of buoys and components. For this proposal, there is no need to submit a national environmental policy act assessment because caricoos will only replace and inspect components of several assets.
