1 A NOAA funded partnership of research institutions, state and regional resource managers, and private sector companies interested in developing and applying sensor technologies for monitoring coastal environments.

2 ACT Organization - Headquarters, Partners, Stakeholder Council, Alliance Members ACT Organization and Functions ± Supports development of the US Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) and its Regional Associations ± Based on a 2000 workshop of academics, resource managers, and private sector companies ± Funded by NOAA s Coastal Service Center, Charleston, South Carolina ± Made up of a Headquarters office, Partner institutions, a Stakeholder Council, and Alliance Members ± An evaluation program for sensor technologies ± An information clearinghouse for sensor technologies ± A forum for capacity building

3 ACT Organization - Headquarters, Partners, Stakeholder Council, Alliance Members Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT) Alaska SeaLife Center University of Alaska (Joining Soon) University of Michigan Cooperative Institute for Limnology & Ecosystems Research Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System Moss Landing Marine Laboratories Coastal Services Center Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute

4 ACT Organization - Headquarters, Partners, Stakeholder Council, Alliance Members Stakeholder Council Membership: ± Up to 21 members with term appointments ± Recruited from private sector companies and environmental management agencies ± Representing geographic and sector diversity Objective: ± Prioritizing technologies to be evaluated and workshop topics ± Participating in decision making process to ensure ACT focuses on service-oriented activities ± Fostering interactive flow of information between various users and disciplines critical to success of ACT

5 Alliance Members Membership: ± Collaborating institutions, companies, and organizations involved in developing and/or use of coastal sensor technologies ± Organized into regional Alliance Chapters. Objective: ACT Organization - Headquarters, Partners, Stakeholder Council, Alliance Members ± Fostering interactive flow of ideas and information between various users and disciplines critical to the success of ACT Kept abreast of current ACT activities Identify regional issues Provide advice on technology foci Participate in developing ACT Workshops

6 ACT Organization - Headquarters, Partners, Stakeholder Council, Alliance Members EuroACT ± US-ACT is collaborating with European colleagues in an effort to form a EuroACT ± EuroAct will eventually include partners from each European eco-region ± First workshop was held in Lisbon on 1-2 March 2004 and hosted by ± EuroAct Partners currently seeking EU funding ± Assure common/standardized technologies ± Encourage joint opportunities in technology development ± Exchange information

7 ACT Functions - Testbed, Clearinghouse, Capacity Building Technology Evaluations Activities ± Testing Guidelines developed with a verification trial in winter ± Recent/Present Testing: In Situ Dissolved Oxygen Sensors test performed summer 2004 results / reports now available at In Situ Fluorometers for measures of chlorophyll now underway 8 sensors submitted for testing at 7 partner locations 56 individual tests Next evaluation on Turbidity Sensors RFT recently published

8 Instrument performance demonstrations and verifications are necessary so that effective existing technologies can be recognized and so that promising new technologies can become available to support coastal science, resource management, and ocean observing systems. ACT has completed a Performance Verification of four in situ dissolved oxygen sensors: Aanderaa, Greenspan, In-Situ and YSI. Complete Verification Statements and Detailed Testing Protocols can be downloaded from the ACT website ( evaluation/past-eval.php).

9 Data and Information Clearinghouse ACT Functions - Testbed, Clearinghouse, Capacity Building ± Information on ACT mission, structure, and background ± Information on process and results of ACT technology evaluations. ± Updates on upcoming and reports on past workshops and seminars ± A searchable sensor technology database Web Site:

12 Upcoming Workshops: Project Year 5 ( ) August Turbidity (UH/SOEST) September Current Meters (GoMOOS) October Application of Drifting Buoy Technologies for Coastal Watershed and Ecosystem Monitoring (UM/CILER) November Remote Imaging Technology 1: Optical Remote Sensing (MLML/MBARI) January Dissolved Oxygen Sensors II (USF/ORION) February Seabed Sensors (SkIO) March Meteorological Buoy Sensor Systems (CBL-UMCES)

13 Genetic Sensors for Environmental Water Quality USF, January 2005 Autonomous Microbial Genosensor-Prototype 1 Workshop report available online at COT

14 Gulf of Mexico Partner: University of South Florida College of Marine Science 140 Seventh Avenue South St. Petersburg, FL

15 Harmful Algal Blooms - GCOOS Gulf of Mexico Regional Workshop St. Petersburg, FL Attendees included coastal zone managers and other state and federal agency representatives, researchers working with HABs, in situ and remote sensing observationalists, and modelers.

16 Foci Identify observations and products needed to support Early HAB alerts Frequent updates on locations of existing blooms Timely forecasts of HAB trajectories including landfalls Probabilities that bloom will occur based on environmental conditions.

17 Recommendations made for Integrated data system HAB Bulletin Ocean Observations Models Standards and Protocols New Research and Development needed
