1 NOAA Navigation Services Update Captain Jim Crocker Chief, Navigation Services Division

2 NOAA s More than Two Centuries of Service First U.S. gov t science agency President Thomas Jefferson created the U.S. Coast Survey in 1807 Over two centuries later, Coast Survey now an office within NOAA in the DOC continues to provide the navigation products and services that ensure safe and efficient maritime commerce.

3 NOAA s Joint Hydro Center Co-Director: Andy Armstrong Director: Rear Adm. Shep Smith Deputy Director: Kathryn Ries NOAA IOCM Coordinator: Ashley Chappell Deputy Hydrographer Rachel Medley Resource Management Chief: Kathleen Jamison Marine Chart Division Chief: John Nyberg Dep. Chief: Mike Brown Hydrographic Surveys Division Chief: CAPT Rick Brennan Dep. Chief: Lorraine Robidoux Navigation Services Division Chief: CAPT Jim Crocker Chief: Matt Kroll Coast Survey Development Lab Chief: CAPT EJ Van Den Ameele Dep.

4 What we do Products Services MODEL DEVELOPMENT

5 Charting responsibilities

6 Chart products Meet USCG Carriage Requirements NOAA electronic navigational chart (NOAA ENC ) NOAA paper nautical chart United States Coast Pilot General use Nautical Charts & Products NOAA raster navigational chart (NOAA RNC ) NOAA RNC tile service Full-size nautical chart Booklet Chart Historical chart Training chart

7 Chart products Viewers NOAA ENC viewer NOAA RNC viewer NOAA nautical chart viewer Catalogs NOAA chart locator NOAA nautical chart catalog Chart Update Information Chart updates Notice to mariners chart updates List of latest editions

8 ENC Feedback from Mariners Too many alarms on caution areas Need more detailed depth areas in key locations Need accurate least depths on wrecks and obstructions-we are training our users to ignore the magenta Xs. ENCs are not standalone products-they are components of a seamless suite. There are too many discontinuities. Symbology is not good for recreational mariners

9 Paper to ENC

10 Paper to ENC Scale Bar

11 Edge Matching

12 NATIONAL CHARTING PLAN A strategy to transform nautical charting Purpose Improve NOAA nautical chart coverage, products, and distribution Improvements Reduce unwarranted alarms Convert to metric Provide timelier data Improve chart coverage Create an orderly layout Reduce uncertainties Improve chart update information Increase efficiency Outcome Ease of access to more precise, higher-resolution charts that deliver the most up-to-date navigation information possible

13 Transforming nautical charting Actions that will improve charting and marine navigation: Improving Chart Updates Improving Chart Content Improving Chart Schemes Improving Chart Production Efficiency MSDI and Open Data

14 Improving Chart Updates Improve chart update information

15 Improving Chart Content Convert to metric Reduce unwarranted alarms & isolated danger symbolization ECDIS display of wrecks with an "isolated danger" symbol Normal ECDIS display of the same two "nondangerous" and one "dangerous" wrecks

16 Improving Chart Content Provide timelier data Standardization of USACE data formats

17 Improving Chart Content Provide timelier data Standardization of USACE data formats

18 Improving Chart Content Provide timelier data Standardization of USACE data formats

19 Improving Chart Schemes Create an orderly layout for ENCs

20 Improving Chart Schemes

21 Improving Chart Schemes

22 Improving Chart Schemes Standardize Scales

23 Improving Chart Schemes Improve chart coverage need image

24 Improving Chart Production Efficiency Increase efficiency Direct input of USCG light list data into production

25 Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure Open data policy MSDI

26 Navigation services Re-opening ports after hurricanes and other disasters Homeland security

27 Navigation response teams

28 Navigation managers
