Brief project summary:
The Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS), in collaboration with its regional partners proposes to design and implement a stakeholder-driven organizational development strategy to enhance and promote the organization, implementation, and application of a regional coastal ocean observing system in Southern California. The project is designed to:

• create a sensible governance structure that is consistent with the business plan and meets criteria for certifying the regional association
• develop a viable business plan for the regional observation system that allows for sustainable operation through the engagement of local, regional, state, and federal partners and delivery of useful products to end users
• formally engage recognized bodies of regional associations and agency end-users as advisors
• actively participate with end-users to develop new customers, products, services
