Pagopago American Samoa publisher mapDigital The American Samoa Coastal use Participatory Mapping Project was developed through a partnership between the American Samoa Government's Department of Commerce Coastal Management Program (ASCMP), Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (DMWR), NOAA's Pacific Islands Regional Office (PIRO), NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) and NOAA's Coastal Services Center - Pacific Regeion (PSC). The project was designed to enhance ocean management by gathering geospatial data on human uses of the nearshore ocean environment in the Fagaloa region of the island of Tutuial in American Samoa. The data were collected from regional ocean experts and users through participatory GIS methods. The American Samoa Coastal Use Mapping Project fills a critical information gap in ocean management by providing an unprecedented, comprehensive, consistent and spatially explicit picture of human uses for management agencies, policy makers and stakeholders interested in sound and equitable ocean governance. Using participatory GIS concepts and applications, the mapping project generated spatial data and map products illustrating patterns, and qualitative information on extractive, recreational and industrial or harbor uses. The resulting datasets depict patterns of ocean use on a broad scale appropriate for a variety of ocean planning and management needs. Specifically, the data will be used by the American Samoa Coastal Management Program (ASCMP), and the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (DMWR) and their partners for decision making and planning for resource management and protection.

All feature classes contain the same set of attributes which you will find described here. FID Internal feature number. Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. Use Level This attribute outlines weather a use is dominant or footprint. Dominant represents where the use occurs mostly where footprint is where it could occur. Not all feature classes have both dominant and footprint regions. This value is text either Dominant or Footprint Shape Feature geometry. Coordinates defining the features.

Data are intended to portray broad patterns for each use at a comparable scale to inform ocean management but are not intended for navigation or enforcement purposes. Complete. Logical consistency was maintained by comparing data before and after each process step, and by comparing final product to source data. Data were digitized by workshop participant groups in Fagatogo on Tutuila in American Samoa. 2011-08-13T00:00:00 Final edits made to dataset based on participant response. 2011-12-30T00:00:00 Some areas where particular fishing uses were mapped but are prohibited were erased from the dataset. The fishing closure areas were determined by a combination of workshop input, published regulations, and existing marine managed areas (MMAs) layers. 2011-12-30T00:00:00 All polygons were clipped to the project boundary to remove land and any marine areas outside the scope of the workshop. 2011-12-30T00:00:00 A follow-up meeting with workshop participants was held for comment on preliminary results. Participant input was recorded for future edits. 2011-12-30T00:00:00 Use-specific procedures were performed based on participant input. This involved adding or removing areas as instructed by workshop participants based on certain depths or distances from shore. 2011-12-30T00:00:00 Processed data was analyzed for completeness and consistency. Uses that seemed inconsistent or incomplete were marked for further investigation. 2011-12-30T00:00:00 Data from each group were reviewed following the workshop to: a. Detail any instructions from participants to add/remove areas in post-processing b. Review GIS technician and facilitator workshop notes for any relevant data-editing comments c. Discuss any areas that might require special attention or follow up. 2011-12-30T00:00:00 Data were processed by Project GIS Specialists to clean artifacts created during the live, participatory mapping process. 2011-12-30T00:00:00 annually This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2016-01-11 version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform.
