The Oceans and Coasts community page is organized around coastal and ocean framework data, or data that is needed for research, planning and management of coastal and ocean resources. These data include, but are not limited to, bathymetry, shoreline, sea floor mapping, habitat, landcover, seismic data, fisheries, and marine boundaries. This community seeks to provide access to these data, clearinghouses, and applications; as well as information about the activities, programs, and committees that support the ocean and coastal community.
The Oceans and Coast community is co-led by the Interagency Working Group on Ocean and Coastal Mapping and the Federal Geographic Data Committee’s Marine and Coastal Spatial Data Subcommittee. For more information on these efforts, refer to the “committees, programs, and organization” section of the community.
