Brief project summary:
CeNCOOS is a regional organization that coordinates ocean observing activities across 625 miles of California coastline in Northern and Central California. We apply regional solutions and expertise to create customized informational products that address the Integrated Ocean Observing System's seven societal goals and that focus on 1) marine populations and inter-annual variability; 2) public health and water quality; and 3) marine operations. The CeNCOOS effort will also initiate interaction and coordination with other coastal observing efforts (e.g., the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System and the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems).
