NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) conduct a
variety of coastal environmental monitoring and research
studies that generate invaluable data sets and reference
information on coastal ecosystem and stressors. NCCOS data
consists of digital imagery as well as chemical, biological
and physical measurements and is used to describe ecosystems,
forecast current and future ecological health, and evaluate management
strategies. Currently available CCMA and NCCOS data is accessible through
the links below. As more data becomes digitally available, NCCOS will
provide access as appropriate via this website. NCCOS is working toward
providing a single portal for all NCCOS data and will serve it at this
site.
