Reports and Proposals

MACOORA Proposal, 2008-2011 (click here for the pdf)

MACOORA’s objective is to mount a comprehensive effort to engage stakeholders at the local and regional level in order to ascertain regional priorities for data collection, data delivery, and data products. MACOORA will build on its previous progress, engage stakeholders in the conduct of the regional association, coordinate the design and implementation of its regional operational observing system (MARCOOS) to meet local, regional, and national coastal observing needs leading to informed decision making.

Macoora Semi-Annual Report, 6/08-11/08, part one(click here for the pdf)

MACOORA’s MARCOOS reported the following accomplishments as it
enters its second year (October 1, 2008):

• Existing observational capacities ($20 M/year) required prioritization
- MARCOOS regional priorities were successfully set based on user
input acquired by the Regional Association (MACOORA).

• Over 20 existing subregional observing systems spanning 10 States &
111 Congressional Districts were successfully linked in a coordinated
Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System (RCOOS).

• MARCOOS Theme 1 – Coast Guard Search And Rescue (SAR) -
provided additional activation energy for a growing National HF
Radar Network.

• MARCOOS Theme 2 – Fisheries - has generated support at the Large
Marine Ecosystem Level with NOAA fisheries scientists, recreational
and commercial fishers.

• Demonstrated that new technologies chosen for regional-scale
observations and forecasting are sustainable at typically available
funding levels.

• Established training & education programs for workforce
development.

• Demonstrated importance of DMAC, Education & Outreach and
Economic Impact efforts.

• Provided a sustained testbed to help attract other programs –
DHS COE, DoD MURI, NSF OOI & COSEE-NOW, NWQMN Pilot,
NOAA Fisheries, States.
