Regional Partner - Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS)

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 Pacific Islands Region is defined as the State of Hawaii, Commonwealth and Territories of the United States in the Pacific and the Freely Associated States in the Pacific. The 2008 implementation award to this region, of $1,700,000, is for a demonstration project focused on the south shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The 2008 Regional Association Planning Grant award to this region is $397,909.
