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.

is Hiring
NERACOOS and the NSF Seafood Engine in New England are growing and looking for the right people to join our teams.
The NSF Seafood Engine in New England
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) announced a major new award to bolster the American seafood industry through the NSF Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines) program within the Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (NSF TIP). The NSF Seafood Engine in New England, led by the Portsmouth-based non-profit NERACOOS, is a collaboration of seafood industry, tech sector, government, and research partners across Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. This innovation ecosystem aims to revitalize the seafood sector through cutting-edge technology. This award will position New England to lead the nation in meeting the goals outlined in the Executive Order on Restoring American Seafood Competitiveness.
