Abstract :
The Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) is being developed as one of the regional coastal ocean observing systems under the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System, which is a contribution to the Global Ocean Observing System. GCOOS will be a sustained ocean observing system that provides data, information, and products on marine and estuarine systems to a wide range of users. A GCOOS Regional Association (GCOOS-RA) has been established to develop the GCOOS. The activities of the GCOOS-RA to establish and evolve the GCOOS are described
