Overview: Over the next three years (2015-17) NERACOOS and its partners will deploy a prototype automated nutrient monitoring observatory in the coastal and estuarine waters of the Northeast. The goal of this effort is to demonstrate the delivery of high frequency nutrient data to scientists, managers and policy makers. When completed the NERACOOS integrated nutrient observatory will be the largest in North America and will represent an important first step towards delivery critical nutrient data to key stakeholders. An award from the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Ocean Technology Transition (OTT) program is funding this project. |
