*Coastal Management Program Element Plan: 2004-2008*

**I. Purpose and Scope**

The Coastal Management program element is one of twelve elements in the
Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) Earth Science Applications Program. NASA
and the Earth Science Applications Program collaborate with partner
organizations to enable and enhance the application of NASA's Earth
science research results to serve national priority policy and
management decision-support tools. The desired outcome is for partner
organizations to use project results, such as prototypes and benchmark
reports, to enable expanded use of Earth science products and enhance
their decision-support capabilities.

The Coastal Management program element[^1] extends ESE research results,
products derived from Earth science information, models, technology, and
other capabilities into partners' decision support tools for coastal
(including marine and ocean) management issues. The Coastal Management
program supports partners on issues of concern related to coastal zones,
nearshore environments, marine and open-ocean activities, wetlands,
estuaries, reefs, oceanic islands, and coasts of large inland waters.
The program element focuses on decision tools serving the following
classes of issues related to coastal, marine, and oceanic regions:

> • Environmental resource management;
>
> • Economic management and trade;
>
> • Emergency management and response;
>
> • Mitigation & adaptation of sea level changes; and,
>
> • Public and environmental health.

NASA partners with Federal agencies and regional-national organizations
that have coastal management responsibilities and mandates to support
coastal resource managers -- primary partners are the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The program
participates with international organizations on coastal activities,
usually through a US partner. Some Coastal Management activities may
relate to the Water Management, Ecological Forecasting, and Disaster
Management program elements. Through its activities, the Coastal
Management program provides results for NASA support to Administration,
interagency, and international activities, including the White House
Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, Climate Change Science
Program (CCSP), Climate Change Technology Program (CCTP), Coral Reef
Taskforce, Ocean.US, Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), Global
Ocean Observing System (GOOS), and Integrated Global Observing Strategy
(IGOS).

Priority Earth science missions for the Coastal Management program
include: Terra, Aqua, Aquarius, Jason, Topex/Poseidon, Ocean Surface
Topography Mission (OSTM), QuikScat, SeaWinds, NPP, and NPOESS. Priority
Earth science models include: POM, SWAN, SHORECIRC, and ADCIRC. The
program includes activities to validate sources of measurements that can
support development of National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
coastal data-layers. The project plans associated with the Coastal
Management program element designate specific sensors and models, and
they state specific activities with the partners to extend Earth science
measurements, environmental data records, and geophysical parameters.

This plan covers objectives, projects, and activities for Fiscal Years
2004-2008. In Fiscal Year 2004 (FY04), the program's priority activities
focus on 1) extending MODIS chlorophyll products to NOAA's Harmful Algal
Bloom (HAB) Bulletin and Mapping System, 2) completing interagency
agreements, and 3) evaluating decision tools for oil spills, coral
reefs, and marine fisheries for potential value of products from Jason,
QuikSCAT, Terra, other missions, and coastal-ocean models. In FY05-08,
the program's priorities focus on 1) validating an expanded set of
products to enable HAB Bulletin to improve performance (accuracy,
detection, tracking, etc.) and geographic coverage; 2) supporting policy
tools and adaptation activities related to climate change coastal
issues, such as sea level change; and, 3) validating performance of
Earth science products and evolving products to include measurements
from upcoming sensors to serve the coastal decision tools evaluated in
FY04.

**II. Goal and Objectives**

The goal of the Coastal Management program element is to:

*Enable partners' beneficial use of Earth science research results,
observations, models, and technology to enhance decision support
capabilities serving their coastal management and policy
responsibilities.*

Major tenets of the Coastal Management program's goal include:

> Develop and nurture partnerships with appropriate coastal
> organizations
>
> Identify and assess partners' coastal management responsibilities,
> plans, and decision support tools and evaluate capacity of Earth
> science results to support the partners
>
> Validate & verify application of Earth science results with partners,
> including development of products and prototypes to meet partners'
> requirements
>
> With partners, document value of Earth science results relative to
> partners' benchmarks and support adoption into operational use
>
> Communicate results & partners' achievements to appropriate coastal
> communities and stakeholders

[Objectives]{.underline}

The Coastal Management program serves the NASA Strategic Plan Objectives
1.2 and 3.1, and the NASA Integrated Budget and Performance Document
(IBPD) Performance Measures 4ESA1, 4ESA5, 5ESA2, 5ESA4, 5ESA6, 5ESA7,
5ESA8, 5ESA9, and 5ESA10. *ifmp.nasa.gov/codeb/budget2004*

Specifically, the Coastal Management program pursues the following
short- and near-term objectives:

[Priority Decision Support Tools: FY04-05]{.underline}

*Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Forecast & HAB Mapping System*

> NOAA operates the HAB Forecast system to identify, track, and monitor
> the status of harmful algal blooms in the northern and eastern Gulf of
> Mexico, and NOAA operates the HAB Mapping System to give coastal
> managers and the public access to data and information on HAB
> conditions. NOAA sends notices via e-mail to coastal resource managers
> on HAB events. Earth science products, such as chlorophyll and winds,
> provide insight into location and transport of HABs. The Coastal
> Management application works with NOAA and NRL on use of MODIS
> products, QuikSCAT winds, other products, and data fusion techniques
> to assist the HAB reporting. *www.csc.noaa.gov/crs/habf/index.html*

*Coral Reef Early Warning System (CREWS) & ReefBase*

> NOAA operates CREWS and produces automated electronic mail and
> Internet-based alerts when conditions are expected to be conducive or
> predictive of coral bleaching. CREWS uses Earth science data such as
> wind speed, sea surface temperature, and primary productivity to
> assess potential bleaching conditions. Similarly, ReefBase provides
> information and mechanisms to serve international coral reef policy
> and management activities.
>
> CREWS: *www.coral.noaa.gov/crews/index.shtml* ReefBase:
> *www.reefbase.org*

*General NOAA Oil Modeling Environment (GNOME)*

> NOAA developed GNOME to predict how wind, current, river flow, and
> tidal processes spread oil spills and predict oil changes over time
> based on weathering. GNOME serves as a training tool as well as a
> diagnostic tool for full tactical support for actual spill response.
> Earth science products, such as wind speeds and temperatures, provide
> insights into location, spread and transport of spills.
> *response.restoration.noaa.gov/software/gnome/gnome.html*

[Potential Coastal Management Issues: FY04-08]{.underline}

On an on-going basis, the program consults with partners to identify
important issues facing the coastal community, examines associated
decision support tools, and determines priorities within the Coastal
Management program portfolio. Topics include:

> Sediment transport Marine shipping and port management
>
> Wetlands & estuary management Coastal inundation & sea-level rise
>
> Hypoxia and eutrophication Stormwater Runoff
>
> Fishery management (including marine fisheries, aquaculture, high-seas
> drift nets, etc.)

[Cross-Application Activities]{.underline}

The Coastal Management team coordinates and evaluates activities jointly
with other Earth Science Applications on related topics and decision
support tools. Related topics include:

*Connection with Disaster Management: Weather Threats to Coastal
Concerns*

NOAA NWS developed the decision support tool SAFESEAS (System on AWIPS
for Forecasting and Evaluation of Seas & Lakes) to monitor data on the
Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) to identify
information relevant to weather threats to coastal concerns. The system
automatically generates warnings when specific weather conditions exceed
certain thresholds. The Coastal Management team works with the Disaster
Management program element to examine this topic and determine a
coordinated approach.

*Connections with Ecological Forecasting: Coral Reefs & Marine
Fisheries*

For coral reefs, see CREWS/ReefBase description in Section IV. For
marine fisheries, see Congressionally-Directed Activities under Section
V.

*Connection with Water Management: Stormwater Runoff*

Several federal and state organizations have identified this issue as a
significant problem facing state and local governments across the
country, especially in coastal regions. The Coastal Management team
works with the Water Management program element to examine this issue,
identify decision support tools, and determine a coordinated approach.

[Coastal Management: Integrated System Solutions Diagram]{.underline}

Figure 1 illustrates a candidate configuration the extension of Earth
science measurements, model products, and data fusion techniques to
support Coastal Management partners, their decision support tools, and
benefits of Earth science to society. Results from Earth science
research are typically observations, data sets, climate data records,
algorithms, and models utilizing the observations. For Coastal
Management, observations include measures of sea surface temperature,
sea surface height, wind speed and direction, ocean color, salinity, and
coastal land-cover/use. Models use these and other measurements to
generate predictions of coastal and ocean conditions, such as upwelling,
primary productivity, and currents. The Coastal Management program works
with partners on methods for their decision support tools -- HAB
Bulletin, CREWS/ReefBase, GNOME, others -- to ingest Earth science
observations and predictions and, in turn, improve the capabilities of
their tools to support their decision processes.

**V. Program Activities: Projects, Solicitations, and Program
Management**

[Projects]{.underline}

The Coastal Management program element authorizes directed projects to
support the program's goal and objectives. The respective Project
Managers are responsible for developing project plans and managing the
activities. Project plans specify Earth science observations, models,
and other outputs to the decision support tools as well as the
activities to produce the appropriate deliverables. Projects will likely
use observations from sensors on: Terra, Aqua, QuikSCAT, GCOM, Aquarius,
NPP, NPOESS, Topex-Poseidon, Jason, and OSTM.

[Solicitations]{.underline}

The Coastal Management program selects project through competitive
solicitations to serve the program's goal and objectives. For proposals
selected through solicitations funded by the Earth Science Applications
Program, the Coastal Management program may provide supplemental
funding. In addition, the Coastal program may provide funds to projects
identified through other ESE solicitations if the projects have specific
ties to the program's objectives. The Coastal team facilitates
appropriate partnerships between selected investigators and the Coastal
application's partners.

The Coastal Management program plans to solicit projects regularly
through Earth Science Applications Program solicitations, focusing on
issues of importance to the coastal management community. The Coastal
program directs programmatic funds -- on order of \$350K annual - to
support additional projects through the solicitation.

[Program Management Activities & Studies]{.underline}

The Coastal application authorizes program management activities that
contribute to the overall success of the application through studies,
working group participation, program reviews, and similar enabling
endeavors.

*There were no NASA Challenge Grants for Coastal in FY03 and none
expected in FY04.*

[NASA Earth Science Research and Education Activities]{.underline}

The Coastal Management program element draws on activities supported by
the NASA Earth Science Research community and Earth Science Education
programs that may have potential or specific applications to the program
element's goal and objectives. The Coastal Management program monitors
the activities for potential support. See Appendix B.

**VI. Budget: FY03-08**

The Coastal Management program element draws on capabilities and
services supported and funded through other components of the Earth
Science Applications Program. The following table presents the requested
level of anticipated support for Coastal Management.

height="4.511805555555555in"}

**VII. Schedule and Milestones**

The Coastal Management program element manages it activities and tracks
events and milestones according to the following categories:

• Systems Engineering and Integration

\- Evaluation reports; Verification, validation and benchmarking reports

• Program Management

\- Program planning and reviews, roadmap updates, annual reports,
budgets

• Partnership Activities

\- Joint development plans and agreements

• Studies and Publications

> \- Studies to support future plans & directions; publications of
> Coastal applications

• Conferences and Major Meetings

• Climate Change Science Program Commitments

• National Spatial Data Infrastructure Activities

• Coastal-related Earth Science Measurement Missions

Appendix C presents the schedule of these activities for FY04-08. The
Coastal Management team updates the schedule as appropriate to reflect
major milestones of the Projects, REASoN activities, and other program
activities.

**VIII. Program Management & Performance Measures**

The Coastal Management team uses performance measures to track progress,
identify issues, evaluate projects, make adjustments, and establish
results of the program element. The program's goal and objectives
(Section II) state what the program intends to achieve. These measures
help the team monitor progress within and across specific activities to
ensure the program meets its goal and objectives.[^2] The management
team analyzes these measures retrospectively in order to made
adjustments proscriptively to the program approach and objectives.

The measures are in two categories (tables below): Program Management
measures are internally focused to assess the activities within the
program. Performance measures are externally focused to assess if the
program activities are serving their intended purpose. In general, the
Coastal program uses these measures to evaluate the performance of
activities conducted and sponsored by the program, especially the
projects. In addition, the Earth Science Applications Program uses this
information in preparing IBPD directions and PART responses.

In addition to the stated measures, the Coastal Management program
periodically requests an assessment of its plans, goals, priorities, and
activities through external review. The Coastal Management team uses
these measures along with comparisons to programmatic benchmarks to
support assessments of the Earth Science Applications Program (e.g.
internal NASA reviews and OMB PART). In specific, Coastal Management
uses comparisons to similar activities in the following programs (i.e.,
program benchmarks) to evaluate its progress and achievements:

\- Environmental and Societal Impacts Group at NCAR

\- NCAR Research to Applications Group

\- Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) in Europe

**Appendix**

Appendix A includes a roadmap of activities within the Coastal
Management program related to support of coastal/marine/ocean policy and
management decision support tools. The figure illustrates the evolving,
progressive nature of links between the increasing capabilities of
NASA-supported research, measurement systems, and technology and their
extension to partners' management and policy responsibilities. The
yellow bars on the left state the expected research and developments
from Earth science research and technology; the blue bars to the right
reflect the contributions of the research in terms of improved
management capabilities. Each level shows a steady improvement in the
measurements and research along with enhanced management capabilities
and public value.[^3] This Coastal application roadmap builds on the
roadmaps of the six ESE Science Focus Areas, particularly the Water &
Energy Cycle Theme, Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Theme, and the Climate
Variability and Change Theme.

Appendix B lists NASA Earth science research projects, Earth science
fellowships, GLOBE activities, and Earth science New Investigators
related to Coastal Management activities.

Appendix C provides the Coastal Management program element schedule for
2004-2008.

    indicators to help the management team track conditions and identify
    issues in order to keep the program aligned with the plan & meet its
    objectives.

    decision support capabilities; however, the transition points from
    yellow bars to blue bars do not necessarily match the time
    references at the bottom of the chart due to formatting constraints.
