Pacific Coastal Observing System (PaCOS)
(formerly ACCEO Alliance for California Current
Ecosystem Observations)
A plan for an observing system for the US EEZ of
the Pacific Coast that supports the fishery
resources, protected species, and ecosystem
responsibilities of NOAA Fisheries.

11
CenCOOS Central California Ocean Observing
System

• In concept, expands the Monterey Bay Crescent
  Ocean Research Consortium (MBCORC) to include
  institutions between Pt. Conception and the
  Oregon border
• Hopes to build on previous, and coordinate with,
  ongoing programs including ICON, CIMT, NEOCO,
  SiMON, AOSN, CalCOFI, SCOPE, CI-CORE and PISCO

Activities to Date

• Meeting held 3/10/03, prior to Ocean.US workshop
  Invited MBCORC institutions plus Cal Poly,
  Bodega Bay Marine Lab, SFSU, Stanford. Resolution
  was drafted for delivery to the workshop by F.
  Chavez (MBARI) and M. McManus (UCSC).
• Proposal submitted to NOAA by M. McNutt (MBARI)
  and G. Griggs (UCSC) and L.L. Martin (UCSC) on
  behalf of CenCOOS for "Leadership in Coordination
  of Ocean Observing". This was funded and an
  advertisement for a regional coordinator recently
  went out. (6 applicants to date)

COCM Coastal Ocean Current
Monitoring Program First State Proposition 40
and then supplemented by Proposition 50 mandated
7.5 and 13.5 million for implementing coastal
monitoring. The California State Coastal
Conservancy is tasked with distributing and
managing the money. The initial CSCC COCM RFP
was for planning letters to establish interested
parties. July 15, 2003 initial planning letters
were due 3 were submitted, one from N. Cal, two
from the south. November 15, 2003 invitation to
submit full proposals. May 15, 2004 Full
proposals due to CSCC
18
Initial funding levels limited the scope of the
possible observatory. NCAHOOtS is choosing
to use Surface Current Mapping to establish the
backbone, supplemented with other technologies
as money becomes available.
19
Standard and high resolution systems are proposed
for between the existing Bodega and Monterey
arrays
20
Our goal is to have both standard and long range
surface current mapping capabilities in the
region from Bodega to Pt Sur since this is the
area with the largest potential for a major
accident
21
A huge caution the COCMP RFP is only for
infrastructure, not Operations! It will provide
the BACKBONE, but. Unfortunately, the coastal
zone is littered with start-up monitoring
efforts, many of which have foundered from lack
of operational funds. For this effort to be
successful, the end users of the products must
recognize the need for sustained operations.
The main challenge is to identify and engage the
stakeholders to build a system which will meet
the needs of the local, state, and federal
regulators who will utilize the products
generated by NCAHOOtS.

Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System

• SCCOOS Consortium Members are working together to
  develop an integrated coastal ocean observatory
  within the Southern California Bight
• for scientific purposes and
• for the benefit of society
• SCCOOS will address environmental issues spanning
  local, regional, state, national and
  international interests, including coastal
  hazards, marine life resources, and water quality.

SCCOOS is committed to producing a governance
structure that 1) recognizes the expertise,
leadership, effectiveness and proven track record
of the research community in implementing and
sustaining long term observation programs 2)
formally engages a recognized body of agency
end-users as advisors 3) employs a strong
project development component that actively
engages with end-user to develop new customers,
products, services, opportunities as well as
feedback from existing end-users.
