  11. GOMRT, OAR Sea Grant Research Activities

  12. The Task Force will rely upon the five guiding principles/objectives outlined by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus in his report to the President titled America’s Gulf Coast: A Long-term Recovery Plan after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: • Coastal Wetland and Barrier Shoreline Habitats are Healthy and Resilient. • Fisheries are Healthy, Diverse and Sustainable. • Coastal Communities are Adaptive and Resilient. • A More Sustainable Storm Buffer Exists. • Inland Habitats, Watersheds and Off Shore Waters are Healthy and Well Managed. The “Next Generation” Gulf of Mexico Coastal and Ocean Zones Strategic Assessment: Data Atlas (1985) Supporting the Gulf Coast Restoration & Recovery Task Force; Development of a Prototype GOM Digital Atlas Workshop

  13. What was the original purpose of the atlas? Why do we want to update the atlas? 'The atlas aims to communicate diverse and complex information on resource use problems in an understandable way for decision makers and other interested users.' Key word in the above ... “understandable” ... directs the creators of the atlas to synthesize ... not just map. – "The information presented in this atlas should provide an improved understanding of relationships and interactions among the diverse phenomena in the Gulf of Mexico and increase the general awareness of the valuable resources of this region."

  15. Example Digital Atlas

  16. Challenges for the Prototype Digital Atlas • Requirement-Driven, i.e., Useful for the GC Restoration & Recovery Task Force, GOMA, GOM Ecosystem Activities • Use Existing Budget(s) • Completion of Prototype - End of FY11 (~8 months) • Scoping and Identifying Commitments From Each of the Partners Involved • Scaled Temporally and Spatially to Meet Timeline • A Limited Set of Data Elements • Use Statistically Relevant Data • Use Readily Available Public Data • Data Elements Used are Recognized as a “Gold Standard”

  17. Examples of Atlas-Ready Data Sources • NODC Global 4 Km Sea Surface Temperature for the GOM (1981-2010) • NRL GOM Ocean Color (1998-2011) • NODC World Ocean Database (T, S, 1/10 Degree) 1950-current for the GOM; DO, Nutrients – P & N • NGDC Coastal Relief Model; Bathymetry Viewer, Sediments Database (GOM) • NMFS GOM Species Distribution and Abundance

  18. Internal NODC/NCDDC Drivers – Roadmap for FY11 and Beyond • Complete regional analyses to identify spatial and temporal gaps in Essential Climate Variables (ECV) in GOM • Develop GOM coastal climatologies using existing data archives • Identify priority data sets – 1st regional focus GOM • E.g., currents, waves, fisheries data (SEAMAP), HABS, Hypoxia, Biological/Chemical (CO2) • Products in support of coastal and marine spatial planning • Identify priority ECVs that are satellite-based, e.g., salinity, Chl, altimetry, surface wind and current

  19. External Drivers – NOAA Next Generation Strategic Plan • Climate Adaptation and Mitigation • Weather-Ready Nation • Healthy Oceans • Resilient Coastal Communities and Economies • NOAA’s Science and Technology Enterprise • NOAA’s Engagement Enterprise • NOAA’s Organization and Administration Enterprise *NOAA’s Priority Objective Teams, e.g., Ecosystem Based Management and Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning
