Abstract :
The SEA-COOS initiative is an eleven-institution collaboration to begin development of a regional coastal ocean observing system for the southeast (North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida) United States. A three-pronged program of observing, modeling, and data management will be established while simultaneously conducting outreach studies of user needs and exploring governance models for the program in future years. Details of the program specifics are given.
