OR&R addresses and evaluates coastal contamination.
Anacostia River Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data
The Anacostia River Watershed Database and Mapping Project is comprehensive database with a GIS mapping component. The project focus is on contaminants in the sediments and in the river. This decision-making tool is intended to help partner agencies and local citizen groups identify priorities and base watershed management decisions on the same sets of data. |
ARD GIS Tools
ARD Tools is a collection of Database and GIS tools that NOAA's Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD) has created to support the protection and restoration of coastal species and habitats. NOAA ARD and project partners can take advantage of these tools to support analysis, mapping and communication of complex spatial contaminant and restoration issues in a Watershed context. |
ARD GIS Tools (DRAFT)
ARD Tools is a collection of Database and GIS tools that NOAA's Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD) has created to support the protection and restoration of coastal species and habitats. NOAA ARD and project partners can take advantage of these tools to support analysis, mapping and communication of complex spatial contaminant and restoration issues in a Watershed context. |
Calcasieu Estuary Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data
The Calcasieu Estuary Watershed Database and Mapping Project was developed to support NOAA's activities and the Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD) mission. The project focused on analysis of sediment and tissue data. The goal is to identify areas of the estuary that should be addressed to reduce and mitigate risks due to hazardous substance exposures. |
Charles River Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data
This describes the purpose and content of the Charles River Watershed Project. |
Christina River Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data
The Christina River, a tributary of the Delaware River, historically supported large populations of anadromous sturgeon, Atlantic salmon, shad and herring. |
Delaware Estuary Watershed Database and Mapping Project
This Delaware Estuary Watershed Database and Mapping Project is a product of the 2006 Interagency Agreement (IAG) between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Hazardous Site Cleanup Division. |
Elizabeth River Watershed Contaminant Conceptual Model Project
This is a data collaboration between federal, state, and local partners and is designed as a decision support tool for clean-up and restoration efforts in the Elizabeth River. |
Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Maps
ESI maps help oil spill responders and planners to identify vulnerable coastal locations, establish protection priorities, and identify cleanup strategies. |
Hudson River Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data
ARD is developing the Hudson River Watershed Database and Mapping Project to provide information and interpretive tools to aid the remedial investigation of the Hudson River Superfund site and restoration planning for the watershed. |
Portland Harbor Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data
ARD has developed the Portland Harbor Watershed
project, which covers the Portland Harbor site and adjacent areas
upstream to Willamette Falls and downstream into the Columbia River.
Portland Harbor was named as a Superfund site by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2000.
NOAA is involved in the site investigation and cleanup work
because the site impacts natural resources that NOAA manages
on behalf of the public.

Query Manager and MARPLOT Applications, Data, and Maps
Query Manager allows users to select from a menu of pre-programmed queries that sort and analyze data. |
St. Lawrence Watershed Database and Mapping Project Software & Data
The St. Lawrence River Watershed Project is being developed to focus on services lost due to contamination. Data regarding PCB and PAH concentrations are the primary contaminants in the sediment samples that are being reviewed and compiled. The GIS project will support efforts by the agencies and stakeholders to quantify injury and scale restoration projects.

Arctic Activities It is estimated that by 2020-2030 the Arctic Ocean will be free of multi-year ice in the summer, increasing opportunities for maritime transportation, tourism, oil and gas exploration. Along with this comes a greater possibility of spills and damage to the environment. (posted: May 1, 2009) |
