The Ocean Enterprise encompasses the development of ocean and Great Lakes observing and modeling technologies, the use of these technologies to collect or generate environmental data, and the application of environmental information services to the delivery of societal or economic benefits. Perhaps nowhere is this knowledge-based economy more important than at our coasts. Additionally, coastal zones are uniquely impacted by the inter-related geophysics and economics of oceanography, meteorology, and hydrology. In this session we invite submissions that explore how this broader Ocean Enterprise contributes to coastal communities, industries, and stakeholders. Of particular interest are use cases demonstrating the societal or economic value of coastal environmental data; those that inform coastal decision making and contribute to coastal economic activity; and cases that help ensure resilience of coastal communities and the protection of the coastal environment.
