Although much research and development is still needed, operational capabilities are advanced for those goals that only require meteorological and physical measurements (improving the safety and efficiency of marine operations, predictions of climate change, forecasts of natural hazards) relative to those goals that require chemical and/or biological measurements as well as meteorological and physical measurements (impacts of natural hazards, human activities and global warming on human health risks, ecosystem health and the sustainability of living marine resources). The Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT,  HYPERLINK "http://www.act-us.info" www.act-us.info) was established to foster the development and use of effective and reliable in situ sensors and platforms. ACT has the following priorities: Identify technology needs & relevant new technologies, Promote development of new technologies, Document performance and potential of new technologies, Transition new technologies for operational use, and Provide GOOS information required for deployment of operational sensor networks ACT currently has eight partnering institutions: Alaska Sea Life Center of the University of Alaska, Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, University of South Florida, Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, and the Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystem Research of the University of Michigan. A Stakeholder Council with representatives from management agencies (water quality, fisheries, coastal zone) and industry works to ensure that ACT focuses on research needed to support products and services. The Director of ACT reports to a Board of Directors with members from the Stakeholder Council, Partnering Institutions and the funding agency (U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA). ACT provides three major services: Function as third party testbed for quantitative evaluations of the performance of new and existing sensors and platforms under laboratory and a range of field conditions; Build capacity through technology specific workshops that review the current state of instrumentation, build consensus on research priorities, and enhance communications between users and developers; and Function as an information clearinghouse by providing a searchable, online database of sensors and platforms with community discussion boards. Performance Evaluations ACT conducts both verifications and demonstrations. Verifications are rigorous assessments of commercially available instruments to validate manufacturers performance specifications or claims. These are conducted by at least five partners. Demonstrations are less rigorous exercises to establish the abilities and potential of a new technologies. These are done as a collaboration between users, instrument developers and manufacturers to field test instruments in diverse coastal waters. Although, all Partner Institutions are involved in Demonstrations, the field tests are typically conducted at only two or three sites. The results of these evaluations are released to the public as either Verification or Demonstration Statements. To date performance verifications have been completed for in situ dissolved oxygen sensors, in situ chlorophyll fluorometers, and in situ turbidity sensors. A demonstration of in situ nutrient sensors is scheduled for 2007 and a performance verification of in situ conductivity sensors is planned for 2008. Building Capacity ACT workshops are designed to aid resource managers, coastal scientists, and private sector companies by identifying and discussing the current status, standardization, potential advancements, and obstacles in the development and use of sensors and sensor platforms for studying, monitoring and predicting the state of coastal waters. Workshop goals are to help build consensus on the steps needed to develop useful tools while also facilitating the critical communications between the various groups of technology developers, manufacturers, and users. To date, workshops have been conducted for the following: Biosensors for Harmful Algal Blooms Developing Acoustic Methods for Surveying Groundfish In Situ Nutrient Sensors Data Telemetry from Sensors & Platforms Rapid Identification of Coastal Pathogens Biofouling Prevention Technologies Dissolved Oxygen Sensors Surface Current Radar Nano-Technology Systems for Water Quality Optical Particle Counters Management Applications for AUVs and Gliders Acoustic Remote Sensing Underwater Remote-Operated Vehicle Reports from these workshops can be found at  HYPERLINK "http://www.act-us.info/workshops_reports" www.act-us.info/workshops_reports. Workshops are planned for passive acoustic hydrophones, towed vehicles as platforms for mapping coastal features and processes, wave height sensors, and biological platforms for sensor technologies. ______________     IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/5.6.2 page  PAGE 2 IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/2.2 page  PAGE 3 167DGO\]kl  i j x 󴩴wjbVC%hVhV5\mH nHo(sH tHh#mH nHsH tHh#mH sH hZr"mH nHo(sH tHh>/hyCJaJnHo(tHh#CJaJnHo(tHh# h>/h#h>/h#5\h#5CJ\aJh#CJaJh#CJaJnHo(tHhCJaJnHo(tHh#h#CJaJnHo(tHhqCJaJnHo(tHh#h#CJPJaJ7]kl $$Ifa$gd>wgd# '7$8$]'`gd# '7$8$]'`gd 8   C j ~~~~~yttll$a$gdZr"gd#gdZr"$a$gd#gd#skd$$Ifx\ q)   U(4 xayt>w   T [ ,-]b /KTX`YZ[s4d)Tκֲ֤֤֤֤֫֫֫֫֫֫֟֗֐֐֐֐։։։։։ hhZr" h,ahZr"hQPhZr">* hZr"o( hQYhZr" hnhZr"hnhZr"6h)/ihZr"0J%jhZr"UjhZr"UhZr"hVnHo(tHh#nHo(tH%hVh#5\mH nHo(sH tH6 .c./RSZ[st $h^ha$gdZr" $ & Fa$gdZr" $ & Fa$gdZr"$a$gdZr"9:;\]z%&()89;<>?ABDV]bvd"hZr"B*CJaJnHo(phtHh\.hB*CJaJphhKC]hB*CJaJphhjhUh]CJaJnHo(tHhzCJaJnHo(tHhZr"nHo(tHh)/ihZr"0J%jhZr"UjhZr"U hQPhZr" hThZr"hThZr">* h,ahZr"hZr"&%[&Ql&'()8:;= $]a$gdz $]^a$ $ & Fa$gdZr"$a$gdZr"=>@ACDcstu $]a$gdz $B^ y$B$ y$B^a$gd#$ y$B^a$gdZr"bchiopqrtuɻɪܦvhXMXwDyK www.act-us.infoyK Hhttp://www.act-us.info/yX;H,]ą'c#DyK "www.act-us.info/workshops_reportsyK jhttp://www.act-us.info/workshops_reportsyX;H,]ą'c&@@@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH T@T Heading 1$$1$@&a$5CJOJQJaJhR@R Heading 2$$*$@&a$5CJaJmH sH @@@ Heading 3$$@&a$5\X@X Heading 4$$@&]^a$5CJ\aJ\@\ Heading 6"$$ n7@&G$^7 5]aJhDA@D Default Paragraph FontVi@V  Table Normal :V 44 la (k(No List .O.
