The evolution of the Gulf of America Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) has been more than two decades in the making — nearly all of it on the cutting edge of data aggregation and integration, technology innovations and — especially — user-driven service delivery.
Today, GCOOS continues to work on the cutting edge — modernizing Gulf assets and adding new technologies to ensure that ocean data flows freely to the communities that need it to protect lives, support the region’s blue economy and maintain a healthy Gulf for the plants and animals that call it home. The 2025 GCOOS Annual Report shares highlights from ocean observing partners and platforms in the Gulf that are advancing ocean science for societal benefits.
GCOOS is pleased to present our 2025 Annual Report with thanks to our members, partners and data providers who help to make the network possible.
