CARICOOS stands for the Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System and is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Integrated Ocean Observing System office. CARICOOS operates data buoys, coastal meteorological stations, vessels, instruments and radars, which comprise its network of observing assets. CARICOOS has stakeholders from tourism and marine recreation, maritime transportation, security, and human and ecosystem health and economics. The focus is on meeting needs for improved real-time data products and forecasts of coastal weather ⟨winds⟩, currents, waves, water quality and hurricane-driven inundation for the U.S. Carribean Exclusive Economic Zone ⟨EEZ⟩. Here at Rutgers we recieve data from stations in and around the western and southern coasts of Puerto Rico and process and study it to help further all of these goals.

Development of Sargassum Seaweed Tracking Tools DOI: 10.1109/OCEANS.2018.8604742 At a conference in April of 2017 Hugh Roarty went down to Puerto Rico for an annual CARICOOS stake holders meeting. At this meeting the research poster pictured below was presented as a base model for what data Rutgers was studying and why to increase the data collection practices and methods. Sargassum Seaweed Information Sargassum seaweed is an invasive species of microalgae that floats on the ocean surface. Because the seaweed does not sink to the ocean floor its movement is dependent upon ocean currents. It is thought to come from the Sargasso Sea which is estimeated to hold up to 10 million metric tons of Sargassum, but there is still much unkonwn about the seaweed. In recent years there has been a massive influx of the seaweed into the Carribean and it has caused a number of different issues. Most notbaly the seaweed clusters together, washes ashore, and decomposes, adversely affecting the toruism industry. Project The process for tracking and predicting Sargassum seaweed is still under development but has taken priority due to the record high bloom of the seaweed this year. The original process entailed utilizing images of floating algae density maps (Figure 1), provided by the University of Southern Florida’s Optical Oceanography Laboratory, and running these images through an image processing algorithm that identified and clustered the higher concentrations of floating algae. The points with the greatest potential of being Sargassum seaweed were then identified. The latitude and longitude for the centroids of the clusters are used as starting locations for virtual drifter particles. The virtual particles are then advected using the HF Radar network or the AMSEAS model. The images use raw satellite data and USF’s floating algae index (FAI) to identify floating algae and other materials on the ocean surface. The process in its current stage utilizes the Alternate Floating Algae Index (AFAI) via the University of Southern Florida’s Optical Oceanography Laboratory. These data products have better spatial resolution providing more accurate readings. However the AFAI has drawbacks with numerous data gaps due to a number of factors related to the area and the satelites abilities. After the initial figure is loaded into our image processing algorithem the process stays relatively the same, with minor fine tuning, yelding a higher resolution, more accurate product. Moving forward we will be incorporating the HF Radar Network in and around Puerto Rico into our system in a more constructive way, as well as creating a warning system to give notice of when Sargassum comes within 5 miles of the coast of selected areas. The warning system will focus around areas established HF Radar stations exist where their data can be utilized in conjunction with different ocean current models. Data Products A history of the drifter models for the southern coast of Puerto Rico can be accessed here. A history of the Sargassum tracking/prediction model of Puerto Rico incorporating the image processing algorithem can be accessed here.

Like many others, I didn’t know what I wanted when I first came to Rutgers. I found Marine Biology almost by luck, and its shaped who I am as a student and as a global citizen. I’ve learned both in the classroom and on the beaches, on campus and at Palmer Station, Antarctica, all through the Rutgers Department of Marine Sciences. Rutgers University is already a very strong name, but especially in my major. Not many organizations in the world prepare their undergraduates like Rutgers does. In my time here I was exposed to real world sampling techniques, identification of relevant species, collecting and processing samples, and am graduating feeling confident both in the lab and in the field. I was sent as an undergraduate researcher to Palmer Station, Antarctica. Here I not only learned how to be a valuable asset to a team by collecting and processing data, but also how to live and thrive in a small community. Rutgers prepares me for real life experiences by giving us hands on education. My next step is as a Marine Science Instructor at the Catalina Islands Marine Institute. It’s an incredible experience to share my passion, and I wouldn’t feel comfortable teaching others if I wasn’t confident. Normally, going to a far off place for a new job would make many people anxious, but I’ll be a Rutgers graduate.

Choosing Rutgers was undoubtedly the best decision I made as an undergraduate. While a student at Rutgers, I have had every opportunity to pursue my interests and develop my skills as a scientist. Many of the courses offered involve getting students out of the classroom to work with real equipment and methods in the field, and there are plenty of opportunities to work or volunteer in a lab. During my time at Rutgers, I have caught and tagged shad in the Raritan River for Dr. Olaf Jensen, spent two weeks at the Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory in Port Norris, NJ growing oysters for a class in aquaculture, taken a training course in the operation of unmanned underwater gliders, and even worked as a field team leader in Antarctica for Dr. Oscar Schofield. Rutgers allowed me to find what I loved to do and provided access to extensive resources and faculty that enabled me to pursue my interests beyond what I would have thought possible. In the Fall, I’ll be attending Texas A&M as a Ph.D. student working in the lab of Dr. Lisa Campbell. I am looking forward to the challenges and adventures this next stage of my life will bring, and I am grateful for the opportunities Rutgers has afforded me and to the faculty that have encouraged and guided me. I do not think I would be where I am today if I had spent the last few years anywhere else.
