Picture of C-MAN Stations The C-MAN stations consist of fixed platforms located along our coasts on lighthouses, piers, and offshore towers. Strategically located in the coastal zone, they provide marine weather data in environmentally critical areas, and they are relatively easy to access. They are primarily weather stations, but oceanographic data can be collected on the offshore light towers.
