  1. Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning Debra Hernandez, SECOORAWalter Johnson, BOEMRERu Morrison, NERACOOSCharly Alexander, IOOS Office

  2. Key Elements of the ICOOS Act related to CMSP • 2009 Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observing Act • Created a network of regional information coordination entities (aka RAs) that were: • designed to address regional and national needs for ocean information • to support national defense, marine commerce, navigation safety, weather, climate, and marine forecasting, energy siting and production, economic development, ecosystem-based marine, coastal, great lakes resource management, public safety, and public outreach training and education • work with the national system to design a data management system, based on standards and protocols, for the processing, storage, integration and dissemination of data to end users

  3. Regional Approach IOOS RAsSame geography with 11 entities (3 for the West coast versus 1 for ROC) The National Ocean Policy 9 Regional Planning Bodies

  4. Essential Elements for CMSP (from NOP Report Final Recommendations) RA Contributions Regional data portals, data integration, data products Technical and scientific resource for decision-makers Model data output, forecasting ability Synthesis and analysis Information on the dynamic nature of the environment overtime Monitoring for evaluation and assessment • Identify Regional Objectives • Identify Existing Effortsthat Should Help Shape the Plan throughout the Process • Engage Stakeholders and the Public at Key Points throughout the Process • Consult Scientists and Technical and Other Experts • Analyze Data, Uses, Services, and Impacts • Develop and Evaluate Alternative Future Spatial Management Scenarios and Tradeoffs • Prepare and Release for Public Comment a Draft CMS Plan with Supporting Environmental Impact Analysis Documentation • Create a Final CMS Plan and Submit for NOC Review • Implement, Monitor, Evaluate, and Modify (as needed) the NOC-certified CMS Plan

  5. IOOS RA Involvement in CMSP Regional Collaborations Regional Ocean Governance Workshops Integrated Data Products Energy siting Data Portals

  6. Regional to Federal Links

  7. CMSP & IOOS: data perspective The data framework exists:Capacity to access/manage ocean observations data does not need to be developed, it is available now. Standards-based: Existing data management capabilities are based on proven, community-based data standards, protocols and technologies. CMSP-compatible Foundation: IOOS data management system architecture is based on the same principles and objectives as anticipated for CMSP. Community Supported: The current capabilities were developed in conjunction with the IOOS community Federal partners, IOOS Regional Associations and IOOA industry partners. NOAA Investment: The IOOS data management framework took three years to design, execute and evaluate with many useful lessons learned. Regional Focus: There is significant data management capacity with the existing 11 IOOS Regions, with direct links to the Federal program

  8. Data Management: CMSP vs IOOS IOOS DMAC attributes CMSP requirements P P • data interoperability • web-based technologies • powerful visualizations • open, scalable, flexible • infrastructure P P P P P P

  9. NOAA’s Digital Coast Product • Decision Support Tools • Access to 30 national geospatial data sets • Products: • Coastal County Snapshots • Inundation Tool Kit • Etc. • Partners: APA, ASFM, CSO, NACo, NSGIC, TNC http://www.csc.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/index.html

  10. Multipurpose Marine Cadastre • Multi-agency effort to build a GIS-based marine information system • provides authoritative geospatial data and supporting information to inform decision making. http://www.csc.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/tools/mmc/index.html

  11. Discussion Questions The National Ocean Policy calls for the development of a: • robust national information management system dedicated to coastal and marine scientific data and information products to meet the diverse data and applications requirements of CMSP. The ICOOS Act  calls for: • a network of regional information coordination entities… designed to address regional and national needs for ocean information…. … to support national defense, marine commerce, navigation safety, weather, climate, and marine forecasting, energy siting and production, economic development, ecosystem-based marine, coastal, great lakes resource management, public safety, and public outreach training and education

  12. Questions • What opportunities and challenges exist to utilize the IOOS system with its regional data portals to support CSMP? • How should IOOS link to the other information systems such as Digital Coast, the Multipurpose Marine Cadastre and other agency data systems? • How can IOOS data and information that tracks ocean phenomena over space and time be made easily accessible to CMSP efforts?
