The Mid-Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observing System, part of the @usioosgov system, powers understanding and prediction of the ocean and coasts

Use the "MARACOOS CBEFS Likelihood of HAB Occurrence" data layer from VIMS on OceanMap to forecast where harmful algal blooms may appear across the Chesapeake.

A Nor'easter is making its way up the coast bringing impacts to the Mid-Atlantic and New England.

For official warnings tune into your local @NWS. For real-time coastal conditions check out these storm resources:

Take a look at this time last year on OceansMap featuring sea surface temperature and glider activity. Explore OceansMap data and see what you can find.

We learned in school that heat causes things to expand. The same is true for ocean water, which is one reason sea levels are rising. Rising seas threaten our coastal communities and infrastructure. You can track water level changes with our OceansMap data layers.

Living shorelines are gaining popularity because they support local habitats and help manage rising sea levels. Many projects can be found throughout the Mid-Atlantic, where storm surges impact our major coastal cities.

When a hurricane or coastal storm threatens the East Coast, having the right information in one place can make it easier to understand what’s happening – and what may be coming next.

LiDAR plays a key role in our research because it gives us important information without needing to measure everything on site. We even use this data in OceansMap, like for the Beacon Wind Offshore Wind Project!

Waves can cause serious damage along the shore, especially as sea levels rise. Erosion can shape the shoreline in many different ways. Enjoy this graphic from EduSphere Academy!

It's hard to believe August is here already. There are just a few days left to enjoy surfing before school starts again. Surf enthusiasts near Bethany Beach, Delaware can check out the surfing conditions dashboard: https://t.co/AFiPIdtnZK. Enjoy the waves! #oceandata #surf

It's now easier to explore WebCOOS cameras in your region and/or in your state!

We had a little fun with today exploring all the WebCOOS cameras in various IOOS regions! Check out all the cameras by visiting https://t.co/UbYIHbvKsM

The University of Maryland Hydronet's new water-level sensor at Breezy Point Beach and Campground in Calvert County, MD is a great example of what regional partnerships can accomplish.

Happy #SharkWeek!

Did you know sharks can can help collect important oceanographic data to improve hurricane forecasting? Learn more https://t.co/5AE2nPVpdX and be sure to catch MARACOOS partner and @MarineBioTrack Lead @drneilhammer tonight at 10pm ET on @SharkWeek.

We've got a hawk's eye view of the World Cup Championship match taking place in our own backyard! What team will you be cheering for?

Ahead of Ocean Data Day, the MARACOOS team visited Dr. Donglai Gong and his students at VIMS in Gloucester Point. We got an up-close look at the Slocum Glider heading out this summer as part of our regional glider deployments.
