Abstract
The University of North Carolina Wilmington's Coastal Ocean Research and Monitoring Program (CORMP), established in 2000, operates nine mooring stations in North Carolina and South Carolina. Data and information collected is used to:
- Increase maritime safety,
- Improve better forecasting of coastal hazards,
- Support ecosystem based management and living marine resources,
- Understand local coastal climate patterns through CORMP's long-term data set.
As a member of the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA), CORMP collaborates with SECOORA and their members to address NOAA's Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS ®) national priorities.
