Project Status Report (continued)Significant Accomplishments: • Success of data integration demonstrated on new Web Presence,
showing seamless integration of data from NOAA and regional subsystems including: UMaine, MVCO, UNH CDIP, UNH Great Bay, LISICOS, 4 NERRS…
• Continued use of IOOS-funded Gulf of Maine buoy data in non-IOOS funded HAB modeling and monitoring.
• Use of IOOS information to develop water quality criteria in NH• Use of Long Island Sound buoy data to interpret long-term
measurements of temperature in assessment of precipitous decline in lobster catches
• Operational delivery of forecast information to NWS as well as novel product development and validation
• Field deployment of nutrient sensors with successful strategy for mitigation of biofouling

Keys to Success and Potential Challenges
What worked well?• Close alignment with Regional Ocean Governance Council
• Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC)• Adopted same priority areas
• Continued support and leverage of NERACOOS efforts by regional entities• e.g., Ocean Data Partnership (EPA / USGS Exchange Network,
WHOI HAB work, …• Establishment of Independent Office for the Regional Association
• UnconflictedChallenges• Already crowded seascape with many interested partiesResolving challenges• Communication and cooperation• Recognizing strengths activities of other organizations
• Working to integrate, leverage, and not duplicate efforts

Current Status: Product Examples• Maritime Safety and Maritime Operations
– Marine transportation • Real-time maritime operation decision support (real-time buoy conditions)
– Commercial from Pilots to lobstermen• NWS decision support
– Meteorological forecasts delivered to two regional forecast centers– Oceanographic (circulation, wave) forecasts to NWS offices– Marine Visibility (buoy observations and future model product) – Marine Icing Potential product being validated by NWS
– Search and Rescue (CG decision support)• Buoy information (wind, wave, water temp, visibility)• HF Radar feed being incorporated into SAROPS• Exploring oceanographic forecasts SAROPS feed
– Ocean Energy• Assisting states in MSP (assessing resource potential, climatogical oceanographic conditions from model
fields, etc.)• Direct observations funded by developer

Current Status: Product Examples• Coastal Hazards
– Splash over / coastal damage decision support tool used by NWS in storm forecasts
– Coastal inundation – house / street level under development at two locations

• Ecosystem Health and Climate Trends– Assisting states in MSP (climatogical oceanographic conditions from
model fields, etc.)– LIS Hypoxia – improved model for TMDL development– Fisheries – Northern Shrimp stock assessment tool (GoMOOS), LIS
lobster habitat assessment– Eelgrass habitat protection through water clarity studies

Current Status: Product Examples• Water Quality
– HABs – Support established efforts in Gulf of Maine• Buoy and satellite measurements in support of non-IOOS funded
monitoring, modeling and research• Early warning system – Environmental Sample Processor (ESP)
purchased• Monitoring in the Bay of Fundy (Canadian partners)
– Nutrient criteria• Real-time and high temporal frequency nutrient sesnors (LIS, NB,
& GB)• Eelgrass habitat protection (GB)
