WCD-04. Information Hub for the NOAA Climate, Ecosystems, and Fisheries Initiative (CEFI)

Abstract
NOAA/PSL and CIRES have developed a information hub that allows interested parties to search for websites relating to the NOAA Climate, Ecosystems, and Fisheries Initiative (CEFI) . Websites are tagged with keywords in predefined categories that are relevant to searchers; for example, region or type of product . The webpage code uses those terms along with a description of each site and a small image to allow users to search for webpages. The page uses HTML, JavaScript, and a JSON text file that contains the specific information about each website to populate the search page. The JSON file can be used directly in other similar applications including GitHub awesome lists. This web code can be easily adapted for any collection of webpages and keywords. The URL of the web is https://psl.noaa.gov/data/fisheries/
