- Abstract:
-
This GIS data set represents ocean dredged material disposal sites acquired from NOAA's Ocean Planning Information System (OPIS).
The OPIS is a prototype online regional marine GIS covering the vast ocean area bounded by the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, the exclusive economic zone, and various maritime boundaries. OPIS was developed to provide coastal and ocean resource managers in the Southeast access to regional digital geographic mapping information and technologies to facilitate coordinated decision making within and across the multi- layered U.S. ocean management framework.
Special emphasis is placed on the federal ocean and coastal management and governance framework, and efforts are ongoing to develop similar data sets for state and local level policy frameworks.
The Southeast OPIS is an ongoing project that has and continues to rely on the vision, dedication, helpfulness, and energy of individuals from partner agencies and numerous other organizations. OPIS partnership includes: North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Division of Coastal Management, South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Florida Coastal Management Program, Georgia Department of Natural Resources - Coastal Resources Division, NOAA Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, U.S. Department of Interior - Minerals Management Service, Florida Marine Research Institute, and NOAA Coastal Services Center.
- Purpose:
-
OPIS provides marine resource managers with timely and equitable access to downloadable data, cutting-edge online mapping functionality, and guidance on how to use GIS in a meaningful way with respect to ocean management.
THE DATA INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION ARE BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING.
This data layer was built from coordinates defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 4. Coordinates are published in the Coastal Programs and Surface Water Quality Grants Section, Ocean Dumping Program and can be found at <http://www.epa.gov/region4/water/oceans/>. These coordinates were used to build ARC/INFO polygon coverages which were then attributed.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.
