Description

The seafloor mapping prioritization results described in this report are already being used by NOAA to focus planned seafloor mapping missions. Furthermore, the outcomes from this regional exercise contribute into a National Mapping Prioritization under the lead of NOAA to coordinate mapping activities across the entire U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Organizations charged with mapping the seabed for navigation, commerce, and/or resource management can harvest the priorities outlined in this report to improve coordination and more efficiently allocate resources needed to conduct mapping.
