Abstract

An Ocean of Information: Provisioning Ocean Data on MarineCadastre.gov
Track: Ocean and Maritime
Authors: Mark Finkbeiner, Anna Verrill

MarineCadastre.gov is an integrated marine information system that provides ocean data, tools, and technical support to the offshore energy and marine planning communities. The project is a BOEM and the NOAA initiative and was designed specifically to support offshore renewable energy siting but is being used for a wide array of ocean-related activities. This talk will highlight some of the new features and demonstrate how the various components of the project are being used.
