"One of the most intriguing aspects of Wednesday launch will come a few minutes after liftoff when the payload fairings separate from the top of the rocket. Although SpaceX has not talked publicly about these fairings, they represent an upgrade over previous iterations, and the company will make an effort to recover them from the Pacific Ocean."
"As part of that recovery effort, SpaceX will dispatch a boat named "Mr. Steven" to the recovery area in an attempt to catch at least one of the steerable fairings or, failing that, pluck them from the ocean after they land. SpaceX has been mum, too, about the nature of the boat, but photos have popped up on social media in recent weeks. Presumably the company will share more information if the recovery is a success."
