Coastal Managers Survey
- In Winter 2003/2004 the Coastal States Organization (CSO) sponsored a national survey of state coastal resource managers to better understand their science and technology needs. At the request of the Southeast Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observation System (SEACOOS) Education and Outreach Workgroup, a category of questions related to coastal observation and monitoring needs was added to the survey. The continuous observation and monitoring variables selected for the survey closely align with those identified in the Strategic Design Plan for the Coastal Component of the Global Ocean Observing System published in 2000.

GA Users Workshop
- The South Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing System (SEACOOS) users group held a workshop for Georgia in Savannah on September 2, 2004. The purpose of the workshop was to introduce Georgia’s coastal community to existing coastal observing systems and to determine the community’s data and product needs as these systems are expanded. In addition to Georgia participants and presenters, presentations and advisement were provided by SEACOOS’ members from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. Subjects ranged from surge models, to emergency management applications in the Carolinas, to Florida port applications.
