Presentation Abstract
The Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS), the regional association of U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (U.S. IOOS) for the United States Pacific Northwest, developed its NANOOS Visualization System (NVS - http://nvs.nanoos.org/) to provide users with a rich interface to access observations, forecasts, and satellite overlays from a wide range of ocean and coastal assets in a user-friendly format. NVS also offers tailored apps for specific user groups. Working with distributed partners, NANOOS has brought together data streams from academic, agencies (federal, state, local), tribes, industry, and NGOs and developed the data displays to suit a variety of user needs, including scientists, managers, fisheries and aquaculture, coastal planners, and recreationalists. Using an interactive format, we will highlight the data streams that support our five areas of emphasis relevant to the Salish Sea. 1) Climate: Climatology and anomaly products from regional buoys, satellite time series, and shoreline change statistics to improve understanding of climate variation and change. 2) Ecosystem assessment: Time-series and real-time observations and data products used to evaluate and forecast Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), hypoxia, ocean acidification and water quality. 3) Fisheries and biodiversity: Forecasts and data on the bio-physical environment enabling better-informed management decisions by fishers (from tuna fishers to shellfish growers) and regional managers. 4) Mitigation of coastal hazards: Observations and analysis of topographic beach profiles, shoreline change, near-shore bathymetry, sea level change and waves to improve planning and response to coastal hazards, assist with engineering design and enhance coastal resiliency. 5) Maritime operations: Water, wave and weather observations and forecasts to assist ship and boat operators with safe operations and planning.

Improving access to ocean and coastal data: How the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems serves the Pacific Northwest
The Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS), the regional association of U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (U.S. IOOS) for the United States Pacific Northwest, developed its NANOOS Visualization System (NVS - http://nvs.nanoos.org/) to provide users with a rich interface to access observations, forecasts, and satellite overlays from a wide range of ocean and coastal assets in a user-friendly format.
