GCOOS develops new GoM website

Gulf Coast communities now have a new way to access information about the Gulf of Mexico and its coastal waters thanks to a new website developed by the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System. GCOOS is the heart of data collection for ocean and coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico - collecting thousands of data points from sensors and ensuring reliable, timely and accurate information before disseminating it to residents, researchers, and resource managers across Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. GCOOS is also the only NOAA-certified observing system whose sole focus is on the Gulf of Mexico. (Source: Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System 02/05/19)
