## Center for Integrated Marine TechnologyGoals

**Center for Integrated Marine Technology****Goals**

- Combine emerging technological approaches that will allow the
- determination of the processes underlying the dynamics of the
- Monterey Bay coastal upwelling ecosystem...
- Help establish the scientific basis for the effective monitoring
- and management of endangered marine mammals and sea turtles,
- the National Marine Sanctuaries, and fisheries resources of the
- central California coast

## Center for Integrated Marine TechnologyTasks

- Create an interdisciplinary team to identify the needs and technological solutions to understanding Monterey Bay's upwelling ecosystem
- Develop new sensors to fill important gaps in understanding the coupling between physical and biological processes in the coastal upwelling ecosystem
- Integrate data across platforms (mooring, ship-based, satellite) and across temporal and spatial scales
- Develop a coordinated software system for the acquistion, organization, visualization, archiving and access of physical and biological coastal marine data sets

## Database Goals Year One

**Database Goals Year One**
- To asses the requirements needed to define the
- database architecture, and evaluate existing
- database systems in Monterey Bay
- (2) To develop new visualization tools to address the
- needs of a wide range of scientific investigators,
- resource managers and the public
- (3) To develop an interactive web site, that will allow
- individuals to down load and visualize selected data
- products from the Monterey Bay Region

## Database Goals Year Two

**Database Goals Year Two**
- To develop a system for long-term scientific
- data management and archiving: a centralized data
- center for Monterey Bay

## Center for Integrated Marine Technology

**Center for Integrated Marine Technology**
**Our over-arching goal of the database team**
- To provide a network that will:
- (1) Interface with existing oceanographic programs in Monterey Bay
- (2) Serve as a central data network for community data access
- (3) Provide centralized processing and integration of data products
- (4) Provide user access and user-defined download and visualization tools
