NOAA HazMat oil spill response benefits from MARACOOS real-time surface current maps and statistical short-term current forecasts delivered through the NOAA Environmental Data Server; State Agency response to floatable sighting reports benefit from MARACOOS real time surface current maps and dynamical forecasts delivered via a web portal.
County Agency personnel making decisions about beach closures and openings can benefit from MARACOOS real time surface current & temperature maps as well as dynamical forecasts delivered through a web portal.
State Agency detection of low oxygen conditions can benefit from dissolved oxygen data from gliders and buoys.
