  1. Introducing the International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN)Coastal Zone 2009 – Boston, Massachusetts ICAN and the Digital Coast Initiative National Coastal Atlas Perspective Tony LaVoi NOAA Coastal Services Center

  2. OverviewNational Coastal Atlas Current State Enablers Digital Coast – Use Case

  3. Federal Landscape • Numerous Federal ‘national’ atlas projects • DOI – National Map, National Atlas of the U.S., Geospatial One-Stop • USACE – eCoastal • EPA – e-Estuary • NOAA – Multipurpose Marine Cadastre (MMS), Legislative Atlas, nowCoast, Electronic Nautical Charts • No comprehensive, authoritative national coastal atlas

  4. State Landscape – July 2007 • 34 states/territories with CZM programs • 21 have some type of “atlas” product • Various levels products and technology • Download data only • Static maps only • IMS only • Comprehensive atlas / IMS products • wide range of analysis tools and other widgets • No comprehensive, authoritative national coastal atlas

  7. Enablers - Policies • Policies and governance activities currently underway could provide foundational support for a national coastal atlas… • Ocean and Coastal Mapping Integration Act (H.R. 146) • “A bill to establish a coordinated and comprehensive Federal ocean and coastal mapping program/plan” • Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and National Geospatial Advisory Committee (NGAC) • Reviewing core components of National Spatial Data Infrastructure and developing national geospatial strategy • CZMA Reauthorization

  8. Enablers - Technologies • Substantial progress in technologies and standards to implement national coastal atlas… • Open standards and open source tools • Web map services • Metadata/ontologies - federated access and searching of distributed catalogs • Neographies / mashups

  9. Building the Digital Coast

  10. Vision • Easy access to data and tools • Coastal organizations come together • to address coastal issues

  11. Partnership Group • Association of State Floodplain Managers • Coastal States Organization • National Association of Counties • National States Geographic Information Council • The Nature Conservancy

  12. Priority Issues • Land use planning • Hazards and community resilience • Water quality • Habitat conservation • Marine spatial planning and ocean governance • Climate change
