13. Marine Biodiversity 3 Mbon projects to show how marine and coastal data could be integrated into the system This U.S. regional contribution to GEO BON is focused in in four geographic areas: the Florida Keys, Monterey Bay, Channel Islands, and the U.S. Chukchi Sea continental shelf. http://www.ioos.noaa.gov/biodiver sity/welcome.html 13 Credit: MBARI

14. Ocean Enterprise Study Determine U.S. Business Activity related to ocean measurement, observation, and forecasting Advocate for ocean studies Phase I Report Released November 2014 –Over 600 companies identified as part of the private sector of the Ocean Enterprise. –On Deck - Quantify the impact of this sector Study to be complete September 2015 14

15. Certification - Five Key Points 1.Establishes minimum criteria for how a RICE operates 2.RICE = RA 3.Civil liability applies to observation data 4.Certification is not connected to funding 5.Avoids being prescriptive when possible RICE CERTIFICATION 15

16. FY2016 RA Federal Funding Opportunity Timeline: –Draft FFO – December FY2014 –NOAA Approval –Publish Announcement – Q1 CY 2015 (February) –Proposal Close date – August 2015 –Merit Review – Oct – Nov 2015 –Forward Recommendations Jan 2016 16

22. IOOS Certification For the purposes of determining liability “arising from the dissemination and use of observation data” a certified RICE is considered part of NOAA Drivers: Certification is a requirement of ICOOS Act Provides formal recognition to regional partners Extends civil liability coverage for data use We believe it is a good thing
