Sanctuary Mooring Data Now Live!

We are so excited to announce that two of the NOAA Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) seasonal moorings have now been redeployed with real-time capabilities, thanks to technological expertise from NANOOS and funds from a NOAA Climate Program Office award (Newton et al.) and the Washington Ocean Acidification Center! OCNMS has maintained seasonal moorings from Cape Flattery to Grays Harbor since 2000, now designated as a NOAA Ocean Acidification Sentinel Site. OCNMS mooring data are highly valuable to the region but until now could only be accessed after the season. See hourly real-time data from the OCNMS sensors served through NVS. This has been a great partnership of the OCNMS working with us at NANOOS and with other partners to make this long-held wish a reality.
