Abstract
 Managing Waterway Navigation Channels with GIS Track: Ocean, Coastal, and Marine Resources Author(s): Alexandra Carvalho, Kenneth Craig, John Messer Managing waterways requires quick access and rapid visualization of organized historical and recent navigation channel project information. Project information includes channel information and geometry, recent and historical waterway bathymetric survey, shoaling data, dredged material management area location and characterization, and excellent knowledge of emerging and recurring channel shoaling problem areas. The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center and the Florida Inland Navigation District have sponsored a research project to develop decision management systems to help waterway engineers and managers with the organization, display, reporting, and analysis of navigation channel information. Engineers have successfully applied these systems in the management of information from the Jacksonville Harbor, Ft. George, Nassau Sound, East Pass, and Atlantic Intracoastal and Okeechobee Waterways in Florida; St. Mary Inlet in Georgia; and Northeast Cape Fear and Morehead City Harbor in North Carolina.
