Vieques Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data

As a natural resource trustee, the Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) provides scientific support to EPA, the Navy, and the Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board (EQB) for the investigation and cleanup of Vieques.  OR&R is protecting NOAA trust resources by assisting the EPA and Navy with the assessment of contamination; identification of the risks to humans and the environment; and development of cost-effective strategies to assess, cleanup, and restore natural resources.

One of the deliverables of this effort is the Coastal Protection and Restoration Division's development of a Vieques Island Watershed Database and Mapping Project to support NOAA's trustee role and partner activities.  This project should be available at the end of this year.
