A buoy deck crew from Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Team Coos Bay recovers buoy 6 from the entrance of the Siuslaw River, Ore., Oct. 22, 2018. While a lot of the growth is scrapped off the buoy while it was still in the water, this buoy was serviced seven months prior and what remains is less than a year's growth.
