Marine Biodiversity 3 Mbon projects to show how marine and coastal data could be integrated into the system This U.S. regional contribution to GEO BON is focused in in four geographic areas: the Florida Keys, Monterey Bay, Channel Islands, and the U.S. Chukchi Sea continental shelf. http://www.ioos.noaa.gov/biodiver sity/welcome.html Credit: MBARI 13

Ocean Enterprise Study Determine U.S. Business Activity related to ocean measurement, observation, and forecasting Advocate for ocean studies Phase I Report Released November 2014 Over 600 companies identified as part of the private sector of the Ocean Enterprise. On Deck - Quantify the impact of this sector Study to be complete September 2015 14

Certification - Five Key Points 1. Establishes minimum criteria for how a RICE operates 2. RICE = RA 3. Civil liability applies to observation data RICE CERTIFICATION 4. Certification is not connected to funding 5. Avoids being prescriptive when possible 15
