  That’s also amazed me. “The depth of the seabed beneath the Soul buoy is around 4,940 metres (16,210 ft).” Didn’t realize people did that sort of thing…

  One of the old referenced article is interesting. They talk about the buoy attracting small fishes, and then bigger fishes, and then fishermen. And some buoys being stolen by fishermen and tracked on their return trip. https://www.liberation.fr/sciences/1998/12/01/apres-le-pacifique-l-atlantique-equipe-de-bouees-de-surveillance-l-ocean-maitre-du-temps-debut-novem_254860/ https://www.liberation.fr/sciences/1998/12/01/apres-le-pacif...

    I had to have a look at the date of the article when I saw that the price of the thing is 200000 FF. 1998, all is good.
