NWEM ORCA Data is now available for public data access via an ERDDAP server. All ORCA data products are currently available, while Coastal NEMO data is being added as it becomes available. The NWEM ERDDAP server can be found here: https://nwem.apl.uw.edu/erddap/index.html
To help track water mass changes and ecological shifts in Puget Sound, NWEM team members along with Washington's State Climatologist have developed a set of five metrics using regional real-time environmental measurements, including NWEM buoy observations. A number of these metrics go beyond simply reporting observations and placing them in a historical context by also giving insight as to what is causing the observed change. This project was funded by the Puget Sound Partnership. Read more and see the weekly-updated metrics here: http://www.nanoos.org/products/ps_metrics/home.php
The following annual reports on marine water conditions in Puget Sound are available. These reports contain a comprehensive look at Puget Sound marine conditions, including physical, chemical, and biological information ranging from large-scale climate variations to local biota monitoring.

A Puget Sound seaweed cultivation project aimed at investigating the ability of kelp to help mitigate ocean acidificaiton was recently featured on 60 Minutes. This project is a collaboration between researchers at the Puget Sound Restoration Fund, University of Washington, NOAA, and Department of Natural Resources, and has just entered it's second field season.
