20. Conclusions:Mid-Atlantic is home to the most advanced observing systems in the world - e.g. IOOS MARACOOS & NSF OOIMuch can already be leveraged to support the Mid-Atlantic Blue Ocean EconomyWell defined process to fill gaps, e.g.: GOOS – Framework for Ocean ObservingMARACOOS – Integration MatrixGreatest need is not for new technologies – it is nuturing the will to use what already exists
