What Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems does
Mission
The northeastern regional association of coastal and ocean observing systems' (neracoos) mission is to produce, integrate and communicate high-quality information that helps ensure safety, economic and environmental resilience, and sustainable use of the coastal ocean.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Neracoos monitors the ocean in the northeastern region, an area that stretches from the gulf of maine to long island sound. This is a large, dynamic environment that changes continuously. People who work and play on the water, as well as those who live in coastal communities, depend on the data and forecasts we provide to make sound decisions. People use our products to decide when to bring large oil tankers into port, where to go for the best waves for surfing, and whether it's safe to go fishing. In addition, scientists and meteorologists use our data to better understand and predict what's happening in the ocean - such as storms, sea-level change, animal migrations, and harmful algae blooms. We deliver all this information to help protect lives and property, empower coastal economies, and improve the health of our oceans.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $604k to $1.5M (+144%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 99% · 2018 99% · 2019 98% · 2020 98% · 2021 95% · 2022 98% · 2023 96% · 2024 88% · 2025 97%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of NORTHEASTERN REGIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COASTAL OCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEMS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (67% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

NORTHEASTERN REGIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COASTAL OCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEMS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
46% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund NORTHEASTERN REGIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COASTAL OCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEMS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $80k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
