What is IOOS ® ? On the National Front Delivering Benefits Linking and Leveraging Communications

1. Strengthen and integrate Federal and non-Federal ocean observing systems, sensors, data collection platforms, data management, and mapping capabilities into a national system,and integrate that system into international observation efforts. National Priority identified in the Final Recommendations of OPTF A robust national information management system dedicated to coastal and marine scientific data and information products is required to meet the diverse data and application requirements of CMSP, and the varying technical capabilities of users. Final Recommendations of OPTF
