Presentation transcript:

A NOAA funded partnership of research institutions, state and regional resource managers, and private sector companies interested in developing and applying sensor technologies for monitoring coastal environments.

 Supports development of the US Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) and its Regional Associations  Based on a 2000 workshop of academics, resource managers, and private sector companies  Funded by NOAA’s Coastal Service Center, Charleston, South Carolina  Made up of a Headquarters office, Partner institutions, a Stakeholder Council, and Alliance Members  An evaluation program for sensor technologies  An information clearinghouse for sensor technologies  A forum for capacity building ACT Organization and Functions ACT Organization - Headquarters, Partners, Stakeholder Council, Alliance Members

Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT) Coastal Services Center Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute Moss Landing Marine Laboratories University of Michigan Cooperative Institute for Limnology & Ecosystems Research Alaska SeaLife Center University of Alaska (Joining Soon) ACT Organization - Headquarters, Partners, Stakeholder Council, Alliance Members

Membership:  Up to 21 members with term appointments  Recruited from private sector companies and environmental management agencies  Representing geographic and sector diversity Objective:  Prioritizing technologies to be evaluated and workshop topics  Participating in decision making process to ensure ACT focuses on service-oriented activities  Fostering interactive flow of information between various users and disciplines critical to success of ACT Stakeholder Council ACT Organization - Headquarters, Partners, Stakeholder Council, Alliance Members

Membership:  Collaborating institutions, companies, and organizations involved in developing and/or use of coastal sensor technologies  Organized into regional Alliance Chapters. Objective:  Fostering interactive flow of ideas and information between various users and disciplines critical to the success of ACT Alliance Members ACT Organization - Headquarters, Partners, Stakeholder Council, Alliance Members Kept abreast of current ACT activities Identify regional issues Provide advice on technology foci Participate in developing ACT Workshops

 US-ACT is collaborating with European colleagues in an effort to form a EuroACT  EuroAct will eventually include partners from each European eco-region  First workshop was held in Lisbon on 1-2 March 2004 and hosted by  EuroAct Partners currently seeking EU funding EuroACT ACT Organization - Headquarters, Partners, Stakeholder Council, Alliance Members  Assure common/standardized technologies  Encourage joint opportunities in technology development  Exchange information

Technology Evaluations Activities  Recent/Present Testing: In Situ Dissolved Oxygen Sensors test performed summer 2004 results / reports now available at In Situ Fluorometers for measures of chlorophyll now underway – 8 sensors submitted for testing at 7 partner locations – 56 individual tests Next evaluation on Turbidity Sensors – RFT recently published  Testing Guidelines developed with a verification trial in winter ACT Functions - Testbed, Clearinghouse, Capacity Building

ACT has completed a Performance Verification of four in situ dissolved oxygen sensors: Aanderaa, Greenspan, In-Situ and YSI. Complete Verification Statements and Detailed Testing Protocols can be downloaded from the ACT website ( us.info/evaluation/Past-eval.php). Instrument performance demonstrations and verifications are necessary so that effective existing technologies can be recognized and so that promising new technologies can become available to support coastal science, resource management, and ocean observing systems.
