Brief project summary:
The emergence of PacIOOS is being coordinated by the East-West Center (EWC) in collaboration with partners in the Pacific Risk Management Ohana (PRiMO), the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other Federal agencies, State and local governments, academia, the private sector and non-government organizations. With funding from NOAA's Coastal Services Center the EWC has begun a three-year initial PacIOOS development activity focused on the following objectives:

• Engage providers and users in an effective partnership to identify information needs and design and to evaluate PacIOOS information products and services;
• Assess the state of the regional observing system(s) and identify critical gaps;
• Establish a PacIOOS Regional Association with appropriate program oversight, coordination and implementation mechanisms.
