• Identify needs, users, products, assets- observations, modeling, DMAC
• SWOT – strength, weakness, opportunities and threats - analysis
• Diversify funds, priority for all
Success StoriesState Funding: 2005 CA $21 m bond for ocean current mapping: BUT no more
M.J Murdock Charitable Foundation: La Push Buoy, NANOOS
NERACOOS: Boston LNG Permit Condition
Success Stories Con’t • Competitive Funding -
– Data Management– ROP– Fed Agencies (NSF, DHS, EPA, USGS)
• In Kind Support– State, Tribal, Academia
• Highly Leveraged
Public Private Partnerships
Membership: Dues and Don’ts
• Some Do - SECOORA, NERACOOS and GLOS
• Some Don’t - feel that membership is open to all
• Provides sources of non-Federal funds, source of “rainy day” funds
GoMOOS: Ahead of its time?
• Precursor to NERACOOS
• Jobs from the sea
• Regional Utility
• Owned assets
• Contract provisions on Intellectual property
• Data sharing
• Market research
Lessons Learned • Government provides long term
commitment• Foundations - O&M is challenge• Boston LNG permit requirement-
could be something to pursue more, BOEM, leasing of public trust resources should require monitoring
Lessons Learned, con’t.
• Lack of national observations hinders development of national value-added products
• RA Capacity
• Private sector concerns about unfair competition
RA serve as pre-operational bridge to private sector and Federal operational centersProvide regional context for Federal agenciesMission to expose and serve data for all
Unique IOOS RA Mission
Bridging the Valley of Death?
Opportunities?• Sell adds on websites?• IOOS Foundation?• Charge for services? • Development Director at IOOS A?• Intellectual property - can address through
contracts but what is?• Asset ownership – GoMOOS owned assets
(buoys, etc) • Challenges:
• Everyone’s #2 Priority• Oil spill, Hurricanes, SAR,
• Enabling utility - who funds? • Private comp do not want to pay – PORTS
FAC help:
• Practical advice for diversifying and growing funding for IOOS - there is an urgency
• What are IOOS strategic advantages?
• How to focus limited resources? Where is the ROI that would be attractive?
• How to fund an enabler?
• Build high level interagency leadership – Summit recommendation
Questions?
Enabling IOOS• IOOS is enabler … but
• How to enable IOOS to do it’s job?
• No one funds an enabler - Private sector and public want to fund those that deliver– NWS is not funding IOOS– CG is not funding IOOS– Navy exercise –
