10. San Pedro Channel South Swell West Swell San Pedro Wave Buoy Pilot Transfer Area SAN PEDRO CHANNEL Leverage existing infrastructure for Wave products

11. Capability to send automated notification when thresholds are exceeded! 3 day wave forecast

12. Geo-referenced NOAA charts to Google

13. San Francisco Approach Currents, Wave Observations and Wave Models – Customized for SF Maritime Community

14. Coastal Conservancy is facilitating discussions as to how we can develop an Integrated currents and waves website for San Francisco. Lack of data Inside the Golden Gate Need more wind and current data.

15. CDIP Wave Buoys Near Ports and Harbors Port/Harbor buoys Other CDIP wave buoys Each port has its own unique Set of challenges…no one Template fits all! How important is consistency for The inter and intra-state maritime community?

16. NOAA PORTS Discussions are in progress with NOAA PORTS as to how best integrate with their system. MOU is in progress between USACE and NOAA. MOST Important step is to secure funding for the SF Bar Buoy!!
