Important news for mariners & communities in southern Mass: The Buzzards Bay buoy has been removed for service due to a ship strike. Bad timing as the remnants of Hurricane Lee approach but other resources can provide valuable information. Read more here: mailchi.mp/neracoos/diver…

Happy #FieldworkFriday! This buoy is part of the NOAA #OceanAcidification observing network and it just got redeployed by @UNH researchers in the Gulf of Maine with new sensors! Buoys in this network are important for our understanding of #OurChangingOcean conditions

Check out this excellent overview of the eMOLT* program that we are working to expand with a collaborative team lead by Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation! 🦞 *eMOLT: Environmental Monitors on Lobster Traps and Large Trawlers

Just one week to go until the deadline for submissions to the National STEM Challenge. We'd love to see some ocean-themed projects submitted from the Northeast. If you have a great idea or know someone who might, please spread the word! nationalstemchallenge.com/2024 The National STEM Festival

Listen to our very own Jackie Motyka and Katy Bland discuss the importance of sustained and accessible ocean data🌊, on the Energy Environment Economy podcast! ebcne.org/news/podcasts/…

We’re #hiring for a Research Oceanographer to study the oceanographic impacts from #OffshoreWind development. Location: #MA or #RI. Apps due 12/22! Public/Career trans/Vet: ow.ly/85O450Qhm8r. Fed/Career trans/Vet/Other: ow.ly/AaMQ50Qhm90. #Jobs #Hiring

Holy cow! This week's weather kicked up some mighty big waves along the East Coast. Newer waves buoys set records, and even the old guard stations recorded wave heights that were only exceeded by Superstorm Sandy. We hope everyone stayed safe for the holiday season!

Our tide gauge in Hampton, NH documented major flooding this week, and we expect even higher water levels on Saturday. Stay safe out there! water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrogra…

Today the #RWSC released the first research plan to guide regional data collection and studies of offshore wind & wildlife. @NERACOOS, @MARACOOS, and @SECOORA helped to develop these recommendations, and we can't wait to continue collaborating! rwsc.org/science-plan/

We're excited to expand our partnership with NH Sea Grant to include Maine Sea Grant as well with the shared goal of building the science needed by all ocean users as offshore wind energy develops in the Gulf of Maine. mailchi.mp/maine.gov/osw-…

Katy Bland, Engagement & Research Associate for NH Sea Grant & NERACOOS, will be adding additional capacity in the region as the new part-time Program Manager for the Maine Offshore Wind Research Consortium through a new shared role with Maine Sea Grant. seagrant.unh.edu/blog/2024/02/k…

Decades of work by partners nationwide is at risk from proposed cuts in the U.S. IOOS Office budget, even as climate change reshapes the ocean & human uses evolve as a result. Make your voice heard so champions in Congress can preserve our essential services! cnn.com/2024/04/02/cli…

20 foot waves and 35 knot winds, gusting to over 40 - yikes! It’s rough out there as this Nor’easter blows off steam. As much as we all love the ocean, we hope everyone is warm, safe, and dry on land today! mariners.neracoos.org

Be safe out there, everyone!

By researching and monitoring sea level rise, tides, and coastal flooding, we can prepare for what’s to come in the not-so-distant future! 🌊 Visit gmri.org/flood-prep to access resources and recommendations for how to prepare for upcoming high tides.

Things looked hairy at Buoy B yesterday, but measurements at the Jeffreys Ledge waverider further offshore, also operated by our partners at University of New Hampshire, topped 30 feet yesterday! In fact, more detailed data from CDIP Buoys show a single wave in excess of 15m - nearly 50 feet!

The ocean is complex, to say the least. Conditions can be very different at the surface versus at depth depending upon how currents and water masses are moving over large scales. Nick Record discusses the complexities in a new Island Institute blog: docs.google.com/document/d/1v5…
