COMMENTS Ideally SEACOOS would do Lagrangian drifter experiments, but will be limited by funding availability.  In meantime, are there other programs doing Lagrangian experiments that we can work with? Might SECOORA of the future include an operations center that bridges the gap between SEACOOS data and USCG, DHS, DOD, etc.? Anon.: What is purpose of this exercise?   Harvey Seim: three-pronged: develop short term objectives for integrated activities; provide support for SECOORA; develop long term vision that addresses real needs and facilitates funding. Harry ???/ FWRI: There are static GIS data layers, which may be made more dynamic by inclusion of SEACOOS data. Peter Betzer: occasionally there are sewage outflows, which might be incentive for more funding.  Another example of possible increased interaction with states. 19
