	Background
		The GODAE objectives of three-dimensional depiction of the ocean state at fine resolution in real time, provision of boundary conditions for coastal and regional models, and provision of oceanic boundary conditions for a global coupled ocean-atmosphere prediction model, are being addressed by a partnership of institutions that represent a broad spectrum of the oceanographic community.
		All institutions are committed to developing and demonstrating the performance and application of eddy-resolving, real-time global, Atlantic, and Pacific ocean prediction systems using the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), a data-assimilative hybrid isopycnal-sigma-pressure (generalized) coordinate ocean model.
		This collaborative partnership provides the means to leverage and accelerate the efforts of existing and planned projects, as well as new opportunities for collaboration and cooperation among the partners ranging from research to the operational level.

	World's Heaviest Bony Fish Discovered?
		Summary A California-based marine biologist has uncovered a massive 5,071-pound (2.3-metric-ton) ocean sunfish some nine feet (2.7 meters) long and ten feet (3 meters) tall.
		Thys and her colleagues are currently analyzing the data they have received from satellite tags attached to nine ocean sunfish and plan to publish their findings within a few months in a scientific journal.
		The fish in question is an ocean sunfish that was caught off the coast of Kamogawa, Japan, in 1996 in set nets owned and operated by the Kamogawa Fisheries Cooperative Association.

	New approach to finding marine debris tested
		Tons of recovered ocean debris is unloaded at the waterfront; Removal of debris from the open ocean before it becomes entangled on coral is much easier than cutting it away by hand later.
		The Environmental Technology Laboratory, one of NOAA's research laboratories, performs oceanic and atmospheric research and develops innovative remote-sensing systems and techniques, and investigates all aspects of the interaction of radio, light, and sound waves with the ocean and atmosphere to probe remote regions and meet the challenges posed by weather and climate.
		As U.S. coasts become increasingly cluttered with debris from logging, fishing, shipping and dumping, the ability to locate and remove oceanborne debris is growing more important.
