The CREWS station was finally installed and became operational on March 8, 2023.  It is an anchored buoy located near Dottin's Reef off the southwest coast of Barbados not far from Holetown.  It was purchased by the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC or 5Cs) for the Barbados Coastal Zone Management Unit.  

We are informally referring to the buoy as DRBB2 (Dottin's Reef, Barbados, the 2nd CREWS station) although the National Weather Service in the US will also likely be giving it an all-numeric buoy designation.

The coordinates of the CREWS station location are:
N 13° 11.018'
W 59° 38.77'
