Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems
Since 2009, Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (NERACOOS) has implemented the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System from Long Island Sound through the Gulf of Maine. We believe that everybody should have the information they need to support maritime safety, national security, ocean life, coastal preparedness, and strong economies.
Mariners' Dashboard
The NERACOOS Mariners’ Dashboard delivers high-quality, timely data on ocean conditions, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe navigation and operations for maritime vessels and the U.S. Coast Guard in the Northeast. Hourly data from observing buoys provide information on wave heights, ocean currents, and weather patterns to reduce the risks associated with unpredictable conditions and improve safety as mariners head out to sea.
WHAT WE DO
Generate Ocean Information
We operate a regional network of tools, from buoys to gliders to computer models, to produce information about the ocean.
Consolidate Data in One Place
We make information more accessible by integrating many sources of ocean data in one place.
Support Ecosystem Monitoring
By supporting long-term monitoring projects, we help support understanding of ecosystem changes.
Seafood Engine
