Shoreline Mapping Priority SHORT TERM OUTCOMES • Replace FTE employees and contractors associated with the Shoreline Mapping Program (SMP) to levels that will maintain a core capability as well as support current and future contracting efforts. • Meet current performance measure for FY06 of 20% of critical ports analyzed and 4.5% of the national shoreline as required by the PPBES process. • Educate and inform current and traditional users of the importance of the Shoreline Mapping Program and multiple uses of the data including IOOS and IOCM. • Continue integration activities within NGS and NOAA that leverage expertise and capabilities within and vice versa (CORS, VDatum, GEOID, HtMod, C&T, W&W, Climate, Ecosystems)
Shoreline Mapping Priority STRATEGIES • Develop education and outreach material for all levels of users and contractors to promote NOAA’s Shoreline data as well its multi use and application to include IOOS and IOCM. • Support and promote the President’s Ocean Action Plan and the Ocean and Coastal Mapping Integration Act (S. 364) through continued coordination and integration within NOAA as well as other federal agencies with coastal mapping requirements. • Continue research and development activities with a focus on transitioning research to operations for the Shoreline Mapping Program.
