Strengthen and integrate Federal and non-Federal ocean observing systems, sensors, data collection platforms, data management, and mapping capabilities into a national system, and integrate that system into international observation efforts. National Priority identified in the Final Recommendations of OPTF

A robust national information management system dedicated to coastal and marine scientific data and information products is required to meet the diverse data and application requirements of CMSP, and the varying technical capabilities of users. Final Recommendations of OPTF

IOOS® GlidersSub-surface Monitoring – New Technologies

• 9 Federal/Non-Federal gliders provided critical ocean state data & served as sentinels to evaluate cross-shelf transport of hydrocarbons - IOOS gliders (not counting Navy) collected 41,670 casts since 17 May 10.

• MACOORA (Rutgers (2 gliders), U. Delaware); SECOORA (USF, Mote Marine Lab); GCOOS (USM/U. Washington) ; SCCOOS; US Navy (2)

• MACOORA, AOOS, PacIOOS, NaNOOS, SECOORA, SCCOOS, CeNCOOS , and GLOS all have glider capacity

US IOOS – A National Endeavor

• IOOS is a comprehensive system and the regions are key partners that need to support both regional and national needs

• Integration of data is critical,

• IOOS is in place as the foundation for the National Ocean Policy
