The Roadmap toIOOS StoryTemplate

Why Have a Roadmap to IOOS Story Template

• Roadmap to building understanding

• A unified way of telling a story (harmonizing, branding) on various levels with various focal angles:U.S.IOOS, Regional, National, theme-based, etc.

• Provides an opportunity to define terminology / start this dialog

• “Compartmentalizing” subjects: oulines “content bins” – a modular structure that allows to attend to content on a pieced basis, as resources permit.

Our planet is constantly changing. The connections between these changes and our oceans, coasts and Great lakes are complex and not fully understood.

Advanced tools are required to understand and monitor our marine and Great Lakes environments.** Contribute and improve decision making.

Establish a networked infrastructure for data collection and management to measure physical, chemical, geological, biological variables for our coasts, ocean and Great Lakes.

Provide variables for research and decision making community

Understand and predict diverse ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes’ processes in order to mitigate and adopt to changes on our planet.

Why HowU.S. IOOS coordinates a network of people and technology that work together to generate and disseminate continuous data on our coastal waters, Great Lakes, and oceans.
