Watershed Database & Mapping Projects NOAA's Assessment and Restoration Division has developed numerous Watershed Database and Mapping Projects. Because each project is unique, with its own characteristics, their components vary. But each builds upon a standard database structure and a data delivery application (Query Manager). Most include GIS data as well.

SOS Workshops OR&R's SOS Workshops focus on evaluating environmental risks during spills and making decisions to optimize environmental recovery. The next SOS Workshop will be held November 3-5, 2009 in Seattle. (updated: August 3, 2009)
Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet Assessment Project Learn about NOAA's special Suisun Bay project investigating potential impacts from the mothball, Reserve Fleet in Suisun Bay, CA. (updated: July 28, 2009)
ERMA: Environmental Response Management Application New Web-based GIS tool designed to assist emergency responders and planners who deal with incidents that may adversely impact the environment. (updated: July 23, 2009)
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. (updated: July 13, 2009)
