NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS)<http://coastalscience.noaa.gov/> unveils the Coastal Ocean Science Blog <http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/>, a new communications tool that will give you a detailed look into the science taking place across the US. Our goal is to give you a 360-perspective of our research, from design and implementation, to results and how that science is being used by natural resource managers and partners around the US and its Territories. Look for postings <http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/> from and interviews with our Principal Investigators (PIs), as well as project partners and collaborators. All of these discussions are with scientists, by scientists. Check out our journals and publications<http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/publications/> related to NCCOS' research or look over "The Buzz"<http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/publications/> for our end-user perspectives. For those who are interested, you can visit "NCCOS in the News" <http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/> to see NCCOS science is making headlines. We hope you will enjoy this new look at the way science is evolving at NOAA and how NCCOS scientists are evolving their methods and approaches to answer the ever-changing questions about our oceans, coasts and Great Lakes. -- Sara Eckert Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment [log in to unmask] 301-713-3028 x 228 noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com
