National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "From
daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings and climate
monitoring to fisheries management, coastal restoration and
supporting marine commerce, NOAA’s products and services
support economic vitality and affect more than one-third of
America’s gross domestic product. NOAA’s dedicated scientists use
cutting-edge research and high-tech instrumentation to provide
citizens, planners, emergency managers and other decision makers

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is determined to set and
lead an ambitious agenda for future ocean research to benefit
society. Their four Ocean Institutes; Ocean and Climate Change
Institute, Ocean Life Institute, Deep Ocean Exploration Institute and
the Coastal Ocean Institute's goals are to close gaps that hinder
scientific discoveries, and to convey discoveries expeditiously into
the public realm.

Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS) Ocean Theme's
goal is to develop a strategy for an international observing system
for the oceans that serves the research and operational
oceanographic communities and a wide range of users of marine
data and information, such as scientists, policy-makers, port and
coastal zone managers, the tourism industry, the fisheries and
aquaculture industry, shipping, offshore mining, and the general
public.

Ocean Observations Panel for Climate is a scientific expert
advisory group charged with making recommendations for a
sustained global ocean observing system for climate in support of
the goals of its sponsors (the Global Climate Observing System, the
Global Ocean Observing System, and the World Climate Research
Programme.) Opens at State of the Tropical Oceans Page. See

Global Water System Project Digital Water Atlas currently
contains 50 global maps and datasets on water-related topics and
more than 100 links to other data and information sources. The
project eventually will deliver a series of reports describing and
mapping key indicators of the state of the Global Water System
across paleo, historical, and contemporary time horizons as well as
possible future time horizons derived from scenario analysis.
