MARACOOS powers understanding and prediction of ocean and coastal systems, enabling better decisions through better data. MARACOOS is a regional association of partners that collect and transform ocean and coastal data into information products that support jobs, the economy, safety and well-being for the more than 78 million people living, visiting, and working in the Mid-Atlantic region. Working with people who actually work in and around the ocean, coasts, bays, and rivers, MARACOOS cultivates data with purpose.
