THIS PROJECT PROPOSES TO RENEW THE COOPERATIVE INSTITUTE FOR MARINE AND ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH (CIMAR), A CRITICAL INNOVATION AND RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA) AND THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII THAT DIRECTLY ADVANCES NOAAS MISSION IN THE PACIFIC ISLANDS. CIMAR CONDUCTS MISSION CRITICAL RESEARCH ON MARINE RESOURCES AND OCEAN SYSTEMS ACROSS EIGHT STRATEGICALLY ALIGNED FOCUS AREAS: (1) ECOLOGICAL FORECASTING (2) ECOSYSTEM MONITORING (3) ECOSYSTEMBASED MANAGEMENT (4) PROTECTION AND RESTORATION OF RESOURCES (5) OCEANOGRAPHIC MONITORING AND FORECASTING (6) CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS AND IMPACTS (7) AIRSEA INTERACTIONS (8) TSUNAMIS AND OTHER LONGPERIOD OCEAN WAVES. CIMAR RESEARCHERS GENERATE DATA THAT ARE USED IN MANAGEMENT DECISIONS TO SUSTAIN PACIFIC FISHERIES ECONOMIES; ARE CRITICAL INPUTS FOR TSUNAMI WARNINGS, STORM SURGE FORECASTS, MARINE NAVIGATION SUPPORT, MILITARY OPERATIONS, AND SATELLITE-ALTIMETER CALIBRATION FOR COMMERCIAL AND DEFENSE USERS; AND ARE INTEGRAL TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTES SUCH AS THE MAGNUSON-STEVENS FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT, ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT, AND MARINE MAMMAL PROTECTION ACT. CIMAR IS ADVANCING DATA SCIENCE, AI, AND DEVELOPING ADVANCED ANALYTIC TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY IN FISHERIES STOCK ASSESSMENTS, OFFER EARLY DETECTION OF INVASIVE SPECIES THAT CAN HINDER HARBOR OPERATIONS, AND ENABLE NEAR REAL-TIME VISUALIZATION OF FISHING EFFORT AND CATCH TO PROVIDE ACCURATE AND UPDATED FISHERIES DATA. WITHOUT THE WORK OF CIMAR, STATE AND REGIONAL RESOURCE MANAGERS WOULD BE FLYING BLIND AND UNABLE TO MAKE SOUND DECISIONS TO ENSURE THAT PACIFIC ISLAND BUSINESSES THAT DEPEND ON SUSTAINABLE MARINE RESOURCES CONTINUE TO THRIVE. BY INTEGRATING WORLD-CLASS ACADEMIC EXPERTISE WITH NOAAS OPERATIONAL PRIORITIES, CIMAR DELIVERS ACTIONABLE DATA, CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY, AND TIMELY RESEARCH THAT DIRECTLY SUPPORTS RESILIENT COASTAL ECONOMIES, SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES, AND LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY IN THE U.S.-AFFILIATED PACIFIC ISLANDS.
