    • U.S. Federal Mapping Coordination

    Metadata Updated: May 20, 2025

    The Sandy Emergency Supplemental appropriations contained funds for federal and state agencies that will go to ocean and coastal mapping data acquisition. These data are needed for a variety of reasons - marine debris identification and removal, beach renourishment, engineering and repair decisions, habitat change assessments, nautical chart updates, inundation modeling, strengthening for future storms and coastal resilience... The list goes on, but the common thread is the need for OCM data to support decision-making.

    As the Integrated Working Group on Ocean and Coastal Mapping, NOAA and its collaborating federal mapping agencies are collecting information on requirements and plans of Federal and state agencies for areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy. The goal is to ensure that the emergency supplemental funding is used to "map once, use many times." The kinds of activities we'd like to include in this Sea Sketch project are requirements AND plans in the Sandy-impacted region for: hydrographic surveys (side scan/single/multibeam); topographic, bathymetric, and topobathy lidar; digital imagery; hyperspectral, etc.
