Networks with Real-time Information Available through nowCOAST
The nowCOAST Web mapping portal contains links to a variety of NOAA and
non-NOAA Web sources of real-time coastal observations and NOAA
forecasts. The ownership of the NOAA and non-NOAA Web sites to which
the portal links to is clearly visible and retained by them, while the
integrity of the nowCOAST portal is maintained by NOS' Coast Survey
Development Laboratory.
