What is IOOS? • Shows past, present, and future states of the oceans from the head of the tide to the EEZ • Coordinated national and international network of: • Observations • Data transmissions • Data management and communication • Data analyses and modeling • Systematically and efficiently acquires and disseminates data and information From the First Annual IOOS Development Plan
Interoperability of Products… One-Stop Shopping Saves Lives and Property

Partnership is Key Roles Must Be Defined The Holy Grail An Ungodly Beast
Exit Strategies Must Also Be Considered
IOOS Has Needs That Might Best be Addressed By Industry; Among These are:1. Value Added Products2. Design/Build the System3. Operate/Maintain the Network
…and We Understand What Motivates Industry: IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment
We Must Work Together to Determine the Most Effective Means to “Cross Walk” these: IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment MECHANISMS
…Including: IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment MECHANISMS DataUse
…and Including IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment MECHANISMS DataUse Contracts/Grants
…and also Including IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment MECHANISMS DataUse Contracts/Grants CRADAs
…and, finally: IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment MECHANISMS* DataUse Contracts/Grants CRADAs Partnerships
A Few Clouds on the Horizon… but Fairly Smooth Sailing Ahead USERS of CURRENT IOOS DATA • Maritime / Shipping / Ports & Harbors • Concerned re: Future of PORTS and NWLON • Value-Added Product & Service Providers • Concerned re: Competition from IOOS
