Changes to NERACOOS Data Products
The NERACOOS website is how we deliver the ocean data you need, and we’re proud that it has served the people and organizations of our region for many years. Because we take pride in our work, we want our site and data products to be useful, secure and reliable.
That’s why we’ve determined that in order to fulfill our mission to provide accessible ocean data, we’ve updated our website and will be retiring some products. The buoy map, our most popular tool, has been redesigned as the Mariners’ Dashboard, which consolidates real-time conditions, forecasts, and more into a single product. After January 4, 2023, the old buoy map will no longer be available, but the data our users depend on are not going anywhere.
Because we understand that change can be difficult, we thought long and hard about our options before starting this transition. Ultimately, we determined that moving to a newer, secure technology that can make full use of advances in the science of ocean observing was the best course of action.
Thank you for your patience as we work to bring you the best possible experience, and thank you for being a NERACOOS user.
