Scientific Consensus on Mapping the Oregon Territorial Seafloor

This document outlines the consensus statement from the OPAC meeting held on March 17, 2006, in Tillamook, emphasizing the importance of mapping the Oregon territorial seafloor. It distinguishes what the statement entails and its limitations, noting that it does not cover the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The document discusses the current state of mapping, the need for detailed geographical data, and the role of various organizations, including NOAA and Oregon State University, in seafloor mapping. Insights on technical requirements and future applications are also provided.
