Its *False* because for one you can clearly is easy & The Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) is the regional association for the Gulf of Mexico observing network, part of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observation System (IOOS). GCOOS is developing as a sustained ocean observing system that provides data, information, and products on marine and estuarine systems to a wide range of users.

The GCOOS Regional Association is responsible for developing a network of business leaders, marine scientists, resource managers, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholder groups that combine their data to provide timely information about our oceans.

False

The U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) is not a government program to collect information in the Gulf of Mexico rather it is a network of people and technology that coordinately work together to compile and distribute data on Great lakes, oceans, coastal waters and other water bodies of prominent significance.
