The Ocean Planning Information System (OPIS) 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 accross 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 OPIS 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. OPIS 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. The purpose of these data is to provide ...
