2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Advancement of an Enterprise Coastal GIS in Martin County, Florida Track: Ocean, Coastal, and Marine Resources Author(s): Kathy Fitzpatrick, Alexandra Carvalho, Rob Hudson The growing number of issues governing coastal projects in Martin County, Florida has resulted in the increase in both the number and specificity of all grants and permits. To address these issues and to streamline the management of its coastal programs, the Coastal Division is developing a customized, GIS-based Coastal Information Management System (CIMS). Recent improvements to Esri's ArcGIS suite of software are enabling Martin County to integrate disparate datasets, often spatial by nature, into the coastal GIS database and the CIMS. Martin County has invested considerable time and money to create a prototype Coastal GIS. The County is focusing its resources on building a sustainable, standardized, and documented Coastal GIS that meets the needs of Martin County and that contributes and conforms to the evolving state of the national coastal geo-spatial initiatives. The Marine Data Model, among other initiatives, provides the point of departure from which Martin County is designing, building, and integrating GIS data into its Coastal GIS.
