2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
Tampa Bay Estuary Data and Information Management System (DIMS) Track: Ocean, Coastal, and Marine Resources Author(s): James Johnston, Christopher Cretini, Antonio Martucci, Sumani Chimmula As part of the Gulf of Mexico Integrated Science Program, the Tampa Bay Study combines the expertise of federal, state, and local partners to address some of the most pressing societal and ecological problems of the Tampa Bay estuary. To facilitate efficient data and information exchange among project managers, scientists, and the public, a DIMS was developed for the Tampa Bay Study. The DIMS consists of a website to document project developments, a digital library to store and distribute science products, and an Interactive Mapping System (ArcIMS) to allow users to query, view, and analyze spatial data. These online tools allow decision makers to combine access to products such as reports, maps, photography, and datasets with the capability of building visual representations of spatial data. The Tampa Bay Study DIMS can be accessed at http://gulfsci.usgs.gov.
