The report finds that, although there has been an increase in the use of satellites, floats, gliders, and other advanced technologies for ocean observation, ships continue to be critical components of the Nations infrastructure for ocean research and surveys. It concludes, moreover, that strengthened interagency coordination in scheduling, operating, and designing the fleet has already improved efficiency by speeding ship-to-shore transmission of data; incorporating green technologies into ship design and operations; and integrating diverse perspectives and interagency expertise into ship design and operations.
