Southeast – SECOORA
Our Mission
SECOORA connects communities across the Southeast with real-time observations, tools, and partnerships that support safety, access, and everyday decisions. From the western Gulf of America to the South Atlantic Bight, people rely on SECOORA to understand what is happening along our coasts right now and what it means for them.
SECOORA’s regional observing network includes buoys, water level stations, cameras, biological sensors, high-frequency radars, gliders, models, and other tools that provide real-time information, forecasts, and long-term data.
Together, these resources help people:
- Prepare for storms and extreme events
- Monitor flooding and changing coastal conditions
- Track ecosystem health
- Make informed decisions before heading to the water
