The Marine Exchange of Alaska was founded by Retired U.S. Coast Guard Captain Ed Page, Paul Fuhs and members of the Alaska maritime community in 2001. [6] Joining 14 other coastal state marine exchanges, [7] MXAK began using advanced technology to build a maritime “safety net” in Alaska and in the Lower 48.
The United States Integrated Ocean Observing System is a national-regional partnership of ocean observing systems that routinely and continuously provide quality-controlled data and observations of the oceans within the United States exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and Great Lakes.

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Major Research Facility composed of a network of science-driven ocean observing platforms and sensors (ocean observatories) in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
improved capability for ocean color observations in coastal and turbid waters; improved interpretation of sea-ice data from satellites; satellite measurement of salinity; Observing system evaluation and design, including improvements in air-sea flux parameterizations. Improvements in ocean platforms, including increased capabilities for Argo floats
The utility of ShoreZone maps for change detection was assessed by independent reviewers in 2009 and 2011, and findings include: 1) the NOAA Coast63 digital shoreline used by ShoreZone in Alaska poorly resolves features less than 50 meters, i.e., many small scale features are not represented and thus cannot be accurately described; 2) ShoreZone ...
Priorities include transitioning emerging technologies to operational use, rapidly and effectively; maintaining a dialogue among technology users, developers, and providers; identifying technology needs and novel technologies; documenting technology performance and potential and providing the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) with ...
The deep ocean off Alaska’s Aleutian Islands is one of the least mapped places in the U.S., partly due to its remoteness. Modern mapping standards have covered just 34% of the sea floor around ...
