- Abstract:
- The Ocean Planning and Governance Geographic Information System (Ocean
GIS) is a prototype online regional marine GIS covering the vast ocean
area bounded by the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, the exclusive economic
zone, and various maritime boundaries. The Ocean GIS was developed to
provide coastal and ocean resource managers in the Southeast access to
regional digital geographic mapping information and technologies to
facilitate coordinated decision making within and across the multi-layered
U.S. ocean management framework. Special emphasis is placed on the federal
ocean and coastal management and governance framework, and efforts are
ongoing to develop similar data sets for state and local level policy
frameworks. The Southeast Ocean GIS is an ongoing project that has and
continues to rely on the vision, dedication, helpfulness, and energy of
individuals from partner agencies and numerous other organizations. The
Ocean GIS partnership includes: North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources - Division of Coastal Management, South Carolina
Department of Health and Environmental Control, Florida Coastal Management
Program, Georgia Department of Natural Resources - Coastal Resources
Division, NOAA Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, U.S.
Department of Interior - Minerals Management Service, Florida Marine
Research Institute, and NOAA Coastal Services Center.
- Purpose:
- The Ocean GIS provides marine resource managers with timely and
equitable access to downloadable data, cutting-edge online mapping
functionality, and guidance on how to use GIS in a meaningful way with
respect to ocean management. THE DATA INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION ARE
BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT BE
CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THIS DATA SET IS NOT INTENDED FOR
NAVIGATIONAL USE. These data came from the National Data Buoy Center
(NDBC)

- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
- The attributes in this dataset are believed to be accurate.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- These data are believed to be logically consistent, although not tested.
Geometry appears topologically clean.
- Completeness_Report:
- This dataset covers the entire Ocean GIS area (see abstract). Spatial
and attribute properties are believed to be complete, although attribute
information has been simplified. Geometric thresholds from original data are
preserved. No tests have been completed for exhaustiveness.

- These data were obtained from the station information tables
provided on the website
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
- The tables were copied into MS Excel, geographic coordinates
calculated, saved as Dbase files and used to generate an ARC/INFO
coverage. Once this coverage was created, several buoys had to be added
due to discrepancies in the published text table. The table on the
website appears to be updated on a monthly (or more frequently) time
frame, so the data present in this coverage is only current up to the
publication date noted. NOTE: buoys that have been disestablished have
been removed from this data layer. Buoys temporarily disabled by
hurricanes remain in this coverage.
