All IOOS Societal Goals Are Integral to All NOAA Mission Goals
1) Improve predictions of climate change and weather and their effects on coastal communities and the nation;
2) Improve the safety and efficiency of marine operations;
3) Mitigate the effects of natural hazards;
4) Improve national and homeland security;
5) Reduce public health risks; 6) Protect and restore healthy
coastal marine ecosystems; and 7) Enable the sustained use of
marine resources.

User Challenges
End users want:• Regional data for local
interpretation• All information in one place• Validation of information• Expert analysis• Fast and Accurate
18
IOOS ChallengesRequirements• Diverse requirements and goals • Diverse customer needs• Data management and Communications• Gaps in the observations data coverage
Integration• Integrating diverse, single purpose capabilities and capacities• Creating smart Interoperability• Creating decision support tools
Research• Integrating sensors and data• Linking observations to applications efficiently• Data fusion and assimilation

The administration, through the Joint Subcommittee on Ocean Science and Technology … is currently working to address this issue. However, for the purposes of implementation and operation of IOOS, the Department and the Administration recognize the importance of having a clear point of accountability. As such, the Department and the Administration believe that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration should be the lead federal agency for the administration and implementation of IOOS.

Administration and Department of Commerce views on S. 361
Consistent with the Ocean Action Plan, interagency coordination is essential for all ocean science and technology priorities and policy and in particular for planning and implementation for an Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). As such an interagency body should provide high level oversight for the IOOS and an interagency program office should develop plans and requirements for that interagency body’s ultimate approval.

The Department opposes directing any specific percentage or amount of appropriations for the IOOS to regional associations…
