5. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 5 Example of a regional observing system in Monterey Bay, CA U.S. IOOS Vision Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) IOOS will enable rapid assessments of current states of marine and estuarine systems, and the timely detection and prediction of changes in them, through the continual provision of routine and reliable data and information in forms and at rates specified by the users. U.S. IOOS is a complex undertaking that is dependent on federal, regional, state, local, academic, & private sector contributions Provide the right information, in the right format, at the right time, to the right people, to make the right decisions.

6. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 6 NOAA’s IOOS Mission “Lead the integration of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes observing capabilities, in collaboration with Federal and non-federal partners, to maximize access to data and generation of information products to inform decision making and promote social, economic, and environmental benefit to our nation and the world.” Source: Draft NOAA IOOS Strategic Plan Example of an integrated ocean observation system

7. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 7 Federal Collaboration to Implement IOOS U.S. Ocean Action Plan Establishes mechanisms for federal coordination and governance (COP, ICOSRMI, JSOST, SIMOR, etc.) Identifies goal to build a global earth observation network, including integrated oceans observation Ocean.US Federal agency coordination through JSOST-IWGOO (EPA, USGS, MMS, USACOE, ONR, JCS, NOAA, NSF, USCG,MMC, USDA, USARC, FDA, NASA, DOS, DOE, DOT) Development Plan Development Plan Addendum

8. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 8 How NOAA Is Implementing IOOS NOAA IOOS Program Office Established Dedicated to administration of NOAA’s IOOS activities and collaborating with external partners NOAA first federal agency to do this Implementing Initial Operating Capability for Data Integration Integrate 5 of 20 variables (temp., salinity, sea level, surface currents, ocean color) Four data products (hurricane intensity, coastal inundation, harmful algae blooms, integrated, ecosystem assessments) WORK PLAN

9. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 9 Where Are We? Formed NOAA IOOS Program Lead and mange NOAA’s IOOS efforts; Leadership in place, now hiring other staff Support external collaboration with partners NOAA’s FY’08 Budget Request includes IOOS request $ 14.0 Million (Regional obs., date mgmt., sensors) Completed internal planning for the FY10-14 timeframe Completed a draft NOAA IOOS Strategic Plan Completed 5 interoperability tests to baseline data flows and conditions for our four thematic focus areas. Implemented a merit based competition to support regional IOOS development (FY07 and FY08)

10. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 10 NOAA Funded IOOS National Capacity First U.S. IOOS Development Plan (2006) stresses the importance of capitalizing on what is already deployed in “in-the-water” For NOAA this means focusing in integrating data from our existing systems (i.e., tide gauges, buoys) The regional coastal ocean observation element has historically been funded through earmarks to NOAA. NOAA is transitioning to a competitive model.

11. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 11 U.S. IOOS Capacity California Example State of California taking a leadership role in creation of regional observing systems. In 2002 passed $21M in bonds to fund the CA Ocean Currents Monitoring Program (COCMP) Pacific Coast Ocean Observing System (PaCOOS) is developing an ecological component to IOOS for ecosystem based management The proposed buildout of high frequency radar (HFR) in CA to monitor surface currents. Pacific Coast Ocean Observing System (PaCOOS)

12. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 12 IOOS Challenges Technical Not easy to integrate data from many sources Need to provide data in formats and rates that are useful for broad array of applications Program IOOS is not “owned” by 1 agency or entity Difficult to engineer a cohesive and operation system with many stakeholders that contribute to and use the system Budget Fiscal constraints always an issue (no one agency can do it all) Coordinating federal budget requests across agencies is not typical and not easy Moving from earmarks to merit based awards IOOS Observation Registry - many data sources from around the U.S. Example of ocean and coastal observation data.

13. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 13 The Roles of Industry Providing Solutions Successful business can be built upon providing innovative solutions to project challenges Program solutions Linking OOI and IOOS Innovative Research and Technology Transfer Technical Solutions Still in period of discovery and face technical challenges IT engineering services Commercial applications development Budget NOAA knows industry can help How do we build a cohesive system with exiting resources? How can we leverage funded efforts underway in the private sector? DisastersHealth EnergyClimateWater Weather Transportation AgricultureBiodiversity

14. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 14 The Role of Industry National IOOS Perspective Its essential that Industry be fully integrated in the planning, implementation, and operation of the U.S. IOOS Develop strategies for value-added commercial applications and services, technology transfer, and operations and maintenance of the national IOOS. Consider Industry perspectives through representation at Ocean.US and through active engagement at industry workshops and forums NOAA encourages the private sector to collaborate with regional entities to respond to our competitive federal funding announcements. Ask for your help in strategizing and thinking about ways to strengthen existing and build new connections. Surfline uses oceanographic data to forecast surf conditions around the world NOAA’s PORTS ® provides real-time oceanographic data for 13 ports (6 more this year)

15. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 15 IOOS The View from Washington Budget FY’08 Administration request includes $14M for IOOS $2.5 M for implementation of data mgmt. and communications $11.5 M for regional observations FY’08 Senate CJS Mark - $47 M $8 M for program development, date mgmt., communications, and grant administration $29 M for competitive regional observation systems $10 M for National data mgmt. and comm. Center FY’08 House CJS Mark - $14 M (matches Pres. Request) Legislation S. 950: report out of Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee H.2337 report out of the House Natural Resources Committee

16. IOOS-OOI Symposium: The Role of Industry 16 Summary IOOS is maturing, but more work needed to evolve IOOS into a fully operational system. As the U.S. IOOS moves to implementation, the potential roles of industry are expected to grow. NOAA encourages the private sector to collaborate with regional entities to respond to our competitive federal funding announcements. Symposia such as this are vitally important for exchanging ideas and translating the best ideas into action.
