    The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced they have received a permit application under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978. This permit involves waste management activities linked to deploying 150 floating oceanographic instruments in the Southern Ocean. These instruments, known as Argo floats, will collect important environmental data, such as temperature and salinity, to help with weather forecasting and environmental monitoring. The public is invited to comment on the permit by March 4, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The National Science Foundation got a request to put special floating tools called Argo floats in the ocean near Antarctica to collect information about the water. People can share their thoughts on this plan before March 4, 2021, because the floats might be left in the ocean after they're done working, which could be like leaving litter in the sea.
