Systems and methods are disclosed herein for a modular buoy deployment system including modules arranged to be assembled at a destination location and an aerial delivery apparatus arranged to deliver the buoy modules (202, 204, 206, 220) to the destination location. The modules are connectable to at least one other module and form a buoy (101) when assembled. The module buoy deployment system also optionally includes a platform (104) arranged to receive one or more aerial delivery apparatuses. Each module conforms to a delivery criteria of the aerial delivery apparatus. The module buoy deployment system also optionally includes a power system arranged to recharge the aerial delivery apparatus.
