The Mid-Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observing System, part of the @usioosgov system, powers understanding and prediction of the ocean and coasts

The Nor'easter off the Mid-Atantic coast is expected to bring high winds, coastal flooding, and beach erosion through most of the MARACOOS region. We're tracking wave, wind, and water-level predictions on OceansMap. #CoastalData #OceanData #Noreaster oceansmap.maracoos.org/?shor…

This weekend, from Friday to Sunday, you can help VIMS coastal scientists catch the king tide with just a few clicks on your phone and contribute to the largest environmental survey running for almost 10 years!

We look forward to continuing to listen to stakeholders across the region and working with partners to help deliver the data and tools they need. bit.ly/4rUFEd3 #OceanData #NOAA #midatlantic #datadriven #regionalpartnerships

Katie has played a key role in deploying water level sensors across the Chesapeake Bay. We are excited to spotlight her innovative work with Hydronet and Mesonet as an Instrumentation Specialist!

Use the "MARACOOS CBEFS Likelihood of HAB Occurrence" data layer from VIMS on OceanMap to forecast where harmful algal blooms may appear across the Chesapeake.

A Nor'easter is making its way up the coast bringing impacts to the Mid-Atlantic and New England. For official warnings tune into your local @NWS. For real-time coastal conditions check out these storm resources: bit.ly/47dAa3A #noreaster #coastalsafety #stormtracking

Take a look at this time last year on OceansMap featuring sea surface temperature and glider activity. Explore OceansMap data and see what you can find.

We learned in school that heat causes things to expand. The same is true for ocean water, which is one reason sea levels are rising. Rising seas threaten our coastal communities and infrastructure. You can track water level changes with our OceansMap data layers.

Living shorelines are gaining popularity because they support local habitats and help manage rising sea levels. Many projects can be found throughout the Mid-Atlantic, where storm surges impact our major coastal cities.

When a hurricane or coastal storm threatens the East Coast, having the right information in one place can make it easier to understand what’s happening – and what may be coming next. Explore East Coast Storm Tracking on MARACOOS OceansMap: oceansmap.maracoos.org/?shor…

LiDAR plays a key role in our research because it gives us important information without needing to measure everything on site. We even use this data in OceansMap, like for the Beacon Wind Offshore Wind Project!

Waves can cause serious damage along the shore, especially as sea levels rise. Erosion can shape the shoreline in many different ways. Enjoy this graphic from EduSphere Academy! Find wave data like height and speed on OceansMap! oceansmap.maracoos.org/

It's hard to believe August is here already. There are just a few days left to enjoy surfing before school starts again. Surf enthusiasts near Bethany Beach, Delaware can check out the surfing conditions dashboard: bit.ly/4zs5YyE. Enjoy the waves! #oceandata #surf

It's now easier to explore WebCOOS cameras in your region and/or in your state! We had a little fun with today exploring all the WebCOOS cameras in various IOOS regions! Check out all the cameras by visiting webcoos.org/cameras 📸 MARACOOS Norrie Point Camera

Happy #SharkWeek! Did you know sharks can can help collect important oceanographic data to improve hurricane forecasting? Learn more maracoos.org/news/tracking-h… and be sure to catch MARACOOS partner and @MarineBioTrack Lead @drneilhammer tonight at 10pm ET on @SharkWeek.

We've got a hawk's eye view of the World Cup Championship match taking place in our own backyard! What team will you be cheering for? 📸 MARACOOS webcamera at Robert Moses State Park to monitor storm impacts, flooding, and recreational activities.

Ahead of Ocean Data Day, the MARACOOS team visited Dr. Donglai Gong and his students at VIMS in Gloucester Point. We got an up-close look at the Slocum Glider heading out this summer as part of our regional glider deployments. ioosassociation.org/OceanDat… #OceanDataDay

On June 25 IOOS and the 11 IOOS Regional Associations are joining together to celebrate Ocean Data Day! Learn how you can get involved: ioosassociation.org/OceanDat… #OceanDataDay #datasystems #sustainablefisheries #coastalcommunities #maritimesafety
