This is Paul Janensch with a Treasure Coast Essay about Kilroy. Yes, Kilroy. Are you familiar with the World War II expression “Kilroy was here?” Well, Kilroy IS here! It’s a sophisticated gizmo that monitors the vital signs in a body of water. Replacement Kilroy devices are being installed in the Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie River. They will be managed by ORCA, the research outfit in Fort Pierce, and partners. Below the water line are sensors and a chamber to hold samples. Up top on the new Kilroy device are a cellphone to transmit data to a base and a solar panel for power. The upgraded Kilroy not only detects a problem but can help identify the cause. If you'd like to know how you can support the Kilroy program, visit this link http://www.teamorca.org/cfiles/kilroy.cfm I'm Paul Janensch.
Kilroy is here!
