It is important to present NEOCO data to the public in a way that enhances the understanding of science. We plan on working with an outreach expert who will help us to identify our audience in the Monterey Bay region and beyond. We also plan to link NEOCO scientists to informal science educators who can help guide development of the educational component of the website and facilitate the dissemination of educational resources created by NEOCO.

For example, NEOCO data may be used to see the effects of the El Niño/La Niña phenomenon along the Californian coast or to monitor water quality on a daily basis.
