provided from the survey vessel we were able to position the ROV’s in the context of the 3-D bathymetry. This effort went on for almost two weeks with a regular watch schedule maintained by all centers (i.e., there was someone on watch at all times). Interspersed with the scientific efforts were a number of broadcasts aimed at a much wider audience. This past year we participated (through telepresence) in an NOAA Ocean Exploration-sponsored expedition to the Black Sea and the Aegean. The ramifications for this sort of facility are manifest. Not only does this open up many new opportunities for shore-based scientists to participate in sea-going programs it also has a tremendous outreach component as groups can be brought in (or the video transferred) to share the real-time exploration experience. Most importantly, from a NOAA perspective, it opens up the opportunity for providing real-time support for seagoing programs where a processing (or other) problem arises. Data can be transferred back to shore-based experts, evaluated and feed back provided to the vessel with minimal delay. Training: In addition to the formal training for NOAA and non-NOAA personnel done at the Center, Center staff have also been called upon to provide training or input for a number of groups and organizations within NOAA (e.g., Calder called upon to provide input at the Field Procedures Workshop, Alexander called upon for input to many organizations on ENC standards; IHO held its Open ECDIS forum at the Center, Rzhanov asked to give workshops on imagery mosaicking, Fonseca asked to give workshops on sonar mosaicking, Open NAV Surface meeting at the Center, etc.). Outreach: We have formalized our outreach activities (with the addition of Briana Sullivan to the staff) and are actively working to increase the usefulness of our website (http://www.ccom.unh.edu) as well as develop museum displays (see visualization section above), and materials and programs that will help share the results of our efforts with the broader community. We have hosted a number of community groups (highschool students, marine docents, etc.) and the activities of the Center have, this year, been featured in many other international (and local) media outlets. PARTNERSHIPS AND ANCILLARY PROGRAMS: One of the goals of the JHC is, through its partner organization, the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping, to establish collaborative arrangements with private sector and other government organizations. Our involvement with Tyco has been instrumental in the University securing a 5 million dollar endowment; 1 million dollars of this endowment has been earmarked for support of post-doctoral fellows at the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping. Our interaction with the private sector has been formalized into an Industrial Associates Program that is continually growing. At present members of the Industrial Associates Program are: JHC Performance Report 54 30 January 2007

The USGS supports collaborative projects involving multibeam sonar mapping as well as a post-doctoral fellow at the Center. Funding beyond this grant this past year is on the order of $719K from a total commitment from other sources of approximately $2.45M (see Appendix D). JHC Performance Report 55 30 January 2007
