The Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System Regional Association (GCOOS-RA) is a 501(c)3 organization responsible for developing a network of business leaders, marine scientists, resource managers, governmental and non-governmental organizations and other stakeholder groups that combine their data to provide timely information about our oceans — similar to the information gathered by the National Weather Service to develop weather forecasts.
With members from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, GCOOS has established a sustained observing system for the Gulf of Mexico to provide observations and products needed by users in this region for:
- Protecting public health and safety;
- Supporting healthy ecosystems and water quality;
- Mitigating the effects of storms and man-made disasters;
- Ensuring safe and efficient marine operations;
- Monitoring the Gulf for long-term changes and environmental trends.
