Regional Partner - Mid-Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (MACOORA)

 

 

NOAA continued a merit-based funding process in 2008 to enhance regional ocean observing systems and achieve three long-term outcomes: establishing coordinated regional observing and data management infrastructure, developing applications and products for regional stakeholders, and crafting regional and national data management and communications protocols. In addition, regional associations received planning grant awards designed to assist them in stakeholder engagement, education and outreach, and long-range planning activities.

 

The Mid-Atlantic Region includes the coastal states from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras. In 2008, implementation funds were provided to two recipients totaling $2,072,200. The 2008 Regional Association Planning Grant award to this region is $400,000.
