- Description:
- Abstract:
- The Ocean Uses Atlas
Project is an innovative partnership between the Coastal Response
Research Center (CRRC) and NOAA's Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource
Management (OCRM). The Project was designed to enhance ocean management
through geospatial data on the full range of significant human uses of
the ocean environment from the shorelines of New Hampshire and Southern
Maine to the EEZ boundary. The data were gathered from regional ocean
experts and users through participatory GIS methods. For more
information on the project scope, background and related data products,
please visit http://www.crrc.unh.edu/workshops/ocean_uses/index.html or
www.mpa.gov/science_analysis/atlas.html.
- Purpose:
- The New Hampshire /
Southern Maine Ocean Uses Atlas Project fills a critical information gap
in ocean management by providing an unprecedented, comprehensive,
consistent and spatially explicit picture of human uses for management
agencies, policy makers and stakeholders interested in sound and
equitable ocean governance. Using participatory GIS concepts and
applications, the Atlas Project generated spatial data and map products
illustrating patterns, intensity, and temporal changes in a wide range
of human uses in three broad categories of use: (i) fishing, (ii)
non-consumptive, and (iii) industrial activities. The resulting datasets
depict patterns of ocean use on a broad scale appropriate for a variety
of ocean planning and management needs. Specifically, the data will be
used in the Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA) during
the March 2010 Spill of National Significance (SONS) drill. This
dataset contains all dominant use areas and sector aggregates, and is
part of the larger New Hampshire / Southern Maine Ocean Uses Atlas
database.

accuracy was maintained by comparing data before and after each process
step, and by comparing final product to source data.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- Logical
consistency was maintained by comparing data before and after each
process step, and by comparing final product to source data.
- Completeness_Report:
- Underwater
cables were only mapped in the general use footprint and so are not
reflected in this dataset. For the sector aggregates, dominant use
areas for commercial lobster fishing (where dominant use was mapped
separately for summer and winter) were combined so that it only
contributed once to the sum of uses.
- Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- Workshops were conducted at a maximum scale of
1:100,000. During post processing, original workshop polygons were
aggregated to an ordered one-quarter nautical mile squared grid, so
exact use locations within each block are not discernible. Data are
intended to portray broad patterns for each use at a comparable scale to
inform ocean management but are not intended for navigation or
enforcement purposes.
