Presentation Abstract
OceanReports is the most comprehensive web-based spatial assessment tool for the ocean and coasts in the U.S., designed to improve decision-making and increase transparency for users. It was developed by a partnership of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), and the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM). The tool contains approximately 100 distinct data layers and is capable of analyzing energy and minerals, natural resources (including species and habitats), transportation and infrastructure, oceanographic and biophysical conditions, and the local ocean economy for any area of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. This presentation will explore how this report-centric tool can provide coastal planners and resource managers with a high-level analysis for their custom-drawn area of interest. Additionally, this presentation aims to spark a conversation on decision-support tool collaboration opportunities to facilitate efficient and effective coastal planning across Washington state and the wider region.
