The accelerating impacts of climate change are driving an increased demand for ocean and coastal information to support climate resilience. This growing demand presents an opportunity for the creation of products and services that support a transformed blue economy that maximizes the economic potential of the ocean while ensuring the sustainable use of ocean and coastal resources and the delivery of a climate ready nation. As one of the world’s largest providers of ocean and coastal data and information, NOAA is growing the ocean economy by improving the quantity, breadth, dissemination, access, and applicability of its foundational data and information.
The Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS®) is a national-regional partnership working to provide new tools and forecasts to improve safety, enhance the economy, and protect our environment.
A competitive funding opportunity to develop and implement accelerator programs that support small businesses and entrepreneurs to commercialize ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes-based climate solutions.
This report summarizes the outputs from a series of dialogues with industry exploring how industry, academia and governments can best work together to advance ocean observing capacity.
The Ocean Enterprise businesses play an increasingly important role in delivering product and service innovation underpinning capacity to meet many of the challenges facing the planet.
BOOC will be a global commons for demonstrating and understanding the benefits of ocean observations and information in support of policy, safety, economic growth, environmental protection and the delivery of climate resilience in developed and developing nations.
Successful growth in the Blue Economy requires the availability of people interested in an ocean-based career regardless of discipline or program. Here is your opportunity to provide input on how we might encourage people towards a career in ocean observations.
