PACIOOS PROVIDES ESSENTIAL REAL-TIME OCEAN, WEATHER, AND COASTAL INFORMATION THAT SUPPORTS SAFE MARITIME COMMERCE, STRENGTHENS DISASTER PREPAREDNESS, MONITORS ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS, AND PROTECTS LIVES, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND OCEAN-DEPENDENT ECONOMIES ACROSS THE U.S. PACIFIC ISLANDS. OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, PACIOOS WILL SUSTAIN AND ENHANCE A REGIONAL OCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEM THAT DELIVERS RELIABLE DATA, FORECASTS, AND DECISION-SUPPORT TOOLS FOR SAFE NAVIGATION, COASTAL RESILIENCE, AND SUSTAINABLE OCEAN MANAGEMENT. THE PROGRAM WILL MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE CRITICAL OBSERVING AND MODELING CAPABILITIES WHILE STRATEGICALLY EXPANDING COVERAGE TO ADDRESS PRIORITY REGIONAL GAPS. PACIOOS WILL ALSO ADVANCE DATA MANAGEMENT AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT TO ENSURE TIMELY, ACCESSIBLE, AND USER-DRIVEN OCEAN INFORMATION FOR COMMUNITIES, GOVERNMENTS, INDUSTRY, AND OCEAN USERS. TOGETHER, THESE EFFORTS SUPPORT NATIONAL PRIORITIES OF THE U.S. INTEGRATED OCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEM BY IMPROVING PUBLIC SAFETY, STRENGTHENING ECONOMIC RESILIENCE, AND SUSTAINING A SAFE, CLEAN, AND PRODUCTIVE OCEAN.
