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 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 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 a cartographic representation of the true county boundaries for the Southeast U.S. for use in the OPIS project.

Description:

Abstract:

This data set contains information about past and current beach nourishment projects within counties in the Southeast U.S.. These data were compiled primarily by the Program for the Study of Developed Shorelies at Duke University, although the data have been augmented with information provided by the Army Corps of Engineers and the South Carolina Task Force on Offshore Resources.

Purpose:

These data are meant to provide coastal managers with a means to plan future nourishment projects. With information regarding the volume of sand required to complete past projects, as well as the funding type and cost, the management community will be able to better allocate future funding and resources.

Process_Description:

The four state files were compiled into one large data file and combined with other information gathered from partner agencies. The database file was then converted into an INFO file in order to be joined with spatial information within the perviously created coastal county data set. An ARC/INFO regions coverage was created from the coastal counties, to which the information about beach projects were joined.
