NOAA Surveying Matching Fund Pilot Program![]()
![]()
The purpose of the pilot program is to encourage non-Federal entities to partner with NOAA on jointly funded hydrographic surveying and mapping and related activities of mutual interest. NOAA would match partner funds and rely on its existing contract arrangements to conduct the actual surveying and mapping activities. NOAA is requesting that interested entities submit proposals by February 26, 2021. ![]()
![]()
The goal of the pilot program is to acquire more ocean and coastal hydrographic surveying for mutual benefit, including for safe navigation, integrated ocean and coastal mapping, coastal zone management, coastal and ocean science, and other activities. The program relies on NOAA's hydrographic expertise, appropriated funds, and its authority to receive and expend matching funds contributed by partners to conduct surveying and mapping activities. ![]()

ATN-MBON-OTN Biological Observations Workshop Summary Report is now available. ![]()
![]()
This is is one in a series of U.S. regional workshops being convened to identify priority stakeholder needs for regional telemetry, biodiversity, and other types of observations of aquatic species that could be served by an Animal Telemetry Network (#ATN)/ Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (#mbon)/Ocean Tracking Network (#OTN) baseline network and to examine whether the type and extent of existing telemetry and biodiversity observing assets could adequately satisfy these requirements. The three U.S. IOOS West Coast Regional Associations, NANOOS, CeNCOOS, and Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System, partnered with the U.S. ATN, the U.S. MBON, and the Canadian OTN to convene a regional stakeholder workshop in Santa Cruz, California on November 7–9, 2018.![]()

Seasons Greetings from the entire Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System crew!![]()

SCCOOS ended 2020 by looking to the future! After a lengthy review process with the Executive Steering Committee and many conversations about SCCOOS direction with our Board of Governors over the last year, SCCOOS submitted the FY21-26 proposal to NOAA U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System, which includes 46 Principal Investigators from 20 institutions and 76 letters of support! We could not have done it without such a dedicated and innovative SCCOOS community. This proposal and its strategic vision also represent a significant collaboration with CeNCOOS, as well as NANOOS and Alaska Ocean Observing System , because we believe we are stronger together in building a truly ambitious ocean observing system that serves the interests of a diverse coastal community.![]()

Wishing you all a safe (if not a little lonely) holiday season. We look forward to gathering again in celebration of 2021 – a year of renewal and restoration. ![]()
