Buoy Area off the New Jersey coast
NOAA data buoy 44065 anchors this mark roughly 15 nautical miles east-southeast of Sandy Hook, at the approach to New York Harbor. The buoy itself is a fish attractor in open water: bluefish and bonito circle the structure in summer, and tuna push through the surrounding grounds when warm water moves inshore.
