SAILDRONE INC. requests that vessels transiting in vicinity of the “Saildrones” proceed with caution and
remain more than 500 meters away from the research equipment. This will ensure the drones can collect data
without human interference and prevent any collisions.
The drones will have track lines nearshore and offshore throughout Lake Superior. Sampling sites include
Wisconsin near Madeline Island, Devils Island, Sand Island, Port Wing; Michigan near the upper entry of the
Keweenaw Waterway, Ontonagon; Minnesota near Grand Portage, Hovland, Grand Marais, Taconite Harbor,
Two Harbors and Duluth. Other sites are near Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
