IOOS
11.012
To support projects aimed at the development and sustainability of a national and international integrated ocean observing system designed to collect, monitor and disseminate marine environment data in an interoperable, reliable, timely and user-specified manner by leveraging federal, regional and private-sector partnerships.
This chart shows obligations for the program by fiscal year. All data for this chart was provided by the
administering agency and sourced from SAM.gov, USASpending.gov, and Treasury.gov.

IOOS completed a programmatic environmental assessment (PEA) of the observing activities regularly occurring in the environment as a direct result of cooperative agreements funded by this program. The PEA demonstrates the program’s commitment to fully consider the impacts of NOAA’s proposed actions on the quality of the human environment. The PEA resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact. IOOS also successfully completed a competition to fund the regional observing systems and sensor evaluation programs. Eleven cooperative agreements were awarded to manage and operate the regional observing systems and one cooperative agreement was awarded to manage and operate the national sensor evaluation program. IOOS released The Ocean Enterprise: A study of U.S. business activity in ocean measurement, observation and forecasting. This study is the first national-level assessment of private sector activity in this critical component of the blue economy, which helps deliver critical safety, economic, and environmental benefits across the board, advancing maritime commerce. Commercial and non-profit activity in this sector has not previously been examined as a stand-alone sector as it is scattered among numerous economic activities. By collecting this information into a single analysis, NOAA and other entities are better able to see opportunities for partnerships and innovation, as well as identifying information gaps.
IOOS, along with its federal partners, intends to fund cooperative agreements that continue the development and operation of the regional component of U.S. IOOS, a national sensor and evaluation program, a coastal ocean modeling testbed, marine biodiversity and animal telemetry networks, ocean technology transition and total water efforts.
IOOS intends to competitively fund projects for the Coastal Ocean Modeling Testbed, subject to the availability of funds, which advance new or existing solutions that address long standing and emerging coastal modeling, forecast product development, and data management challenges. IOOS will seek to fund projects ¬sufficiently mature for evaluation and transition to long term operations, focused on models, tools or products for which there are demonstrated operators and end users.
National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) awarded three new three-year US MBON projects covering the Arctic, northern and southern California Current, Pacific Northwest, Gulf of Maine, and South Florida. These three projects are now addressing specific needs of their collaborating federal, state and foundation partners

(PI: Carter) – ASVCO2 build documentation and assembly instructions were finalized and shared with partners through GitHub. WHOI - finalized data collection at the 13 MHz GAIL site in southern RI in view of the BI wind farm.
$2,818,861 – Funded 7 existing projects. Univ. of DE - obtained the first prototype CTD tag. SECOORA - Operationalize the WebCAT system to a national webcam data management network.
