What is the ICON Program?
The mission of NOAA's Integrated Coral Observing Network (ICON) program is to utilize in situ instruments, remote sensing, computational algorithms and artificial intelligence tools in the near real-time monitoring, modeling, and reporting of physical environmental conditions on coral reefs.
Reef Framework Research
Climate change has both thermal (warming) and chemical (ocean acidification, OA) ramifications for coral reef ecosystems.
Coastal Oceanography
A long-term monthly water quality-sampling program for the southeast Florida coast began in 2009. The program is building a multi-year database of ocean currents (direction and velocity) and seawater temperature along depth profiles at specific sites along Florida’s southeast coast.
IMPACT Project
The Integrated Marine Protected Area Climate Tools (IMPACT) project. Building upon existing partnerships, NOAA will develop a comprehensive set of climate products, including climatologies, for MPAs through a pilot project at the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS).

Environmental Goal Setting -- MARES
The goal of the Marine and Estuarine he Goal Setting for South Florida (MARES) Project is to reach a science-based consensus about the defining characteristics and fundamental regulating processes of a South Florida coastal marine ecosystem that is both sustainable and capable of providing the diverse ecological services upon which our society depends.
The goal of the Marine and Estuarine Goal Setting for South Florida (MARES) Project is to reach a science-based consensus about the defining characteristics and fundamental regulating processes of a South Florida coastal marine ecosystem that is both sustainable and capable of providing the diverse ecological services upon which our society depends. Sea Grant, NOAA/AOML, the University of Miami Rosenstiel School for Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, and many partners are proud to be a part of this new initiative.
