Secondly, the impact force generated by the collision may make the buoy deviate from the original position, change its mooring state, and thus affect the accuracy and representativeness of the monitoring data. Moreover, even if the collision does not cause obvious immediate damage, it may cause hidden damage in the internal structure of the buoy, such as loosening of the welding points, wear of the connecting parts, etc. These damages will gradually accumulate and worsen under the continuous action of subsequent sea waves, ocean currents, etc., eventually leading to the performance degradation or even complete failure of the buoy.
