	Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) The Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) is a regional observing system that promotes regional collaboration within the Gulf of Mexico.
	Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Watch Hypoxia Watch uses near-real-time shipboard measurements of bottom dissolved oxygen to create data and map products that show anoxic and hypoxic conditions in the western and north-central Gulf of Mexico.
	MERMAid Information for data providers about the Metadata Enterprise Resource Management Aid (MERMAid) tool for use to create, to validate, manage, and publish FGDC compliant metadata.
	Marine Metadata Interoperability (MMI) Marine Metadata Interoperability (MMI) makes marine data easier to advertise, distribute, reuse, and combine with other data sets.
	NOAA Ecosystem Approach to Management An ecosystem approach to management provides a comprehensive framework for living marine resource decision making that considers ecological, environmental, and human factors.
	NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration and Research The Ocean Exploration and Research data management program provides a unique end-to-end system for expeditions sponsored by the Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, ensuring data discovery, access, and archival for perpetuity.
	The Joint Archive for Sea Level (JASL) The Joint Archive for Sea Level (JASL) contains sea level data from various reporting stations.
	West Coast Observing System The West Coast Observing System (WCOS) is an end-to-end data management system created in partnership with NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries.

Regional Ecosystem Data Management
	California Current Ecosystem Data Management The California Current Ecosystem Data Management project combines a number of real-time data streams from within the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) and links them to a preliminary Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA).
	Coastal Habitat Coastal Habitat showcases several pilot projects developed by NCDDC in collaboration with National Marine Fisheries including GIS applications that assist with monitoring and assessment of habitats.
	Ecosystem Goal Team (EGT) and Ecosystem Observation Program (EOP) Ecosystem Goal Team (EGT) and Ecosystem Observation Program (EOP) support NOAA's goal to protect, restore and manage the use of coastal and ocean resources through an ecosystem approach to management.
	Galveston Bay Consultation Maps The mapping of the Galveston Bay assists in the assessment of coastal areas in order to grant or refuse permits.
	Gulf of Mexico Alliance The Gulf of Mexico Alliance is a partnership, initiated in 2004 by the states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, to protect the Gulf of Mexico's ecosystem and economy.
	Priority Habitat Information System The Priority Habitat Information System is a web-based portal that allows user access to Gulf-wide habitat data and information from many different sources.
