This conference is typically held every two years and focuses on geospatial data, tools, technology, and information for coastal resource management professionals. OR&R staff presented on “Updates to the Environmental Sensitivity Index Datasets,” which highlighted work enabled by a partnership with the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the U.S. Coast Guard.

Staff also presented on “Linking NOAA Line Offices through Web-based Geo Application Code,” focused on the partnership between the National Ocean Service and National Weather Service, including leveraging the Environmental Response Management Application and collaboration on development. This partnership across NOAA Line Offices provides incredible cost-savings and benefits both line offices with new and innovative modules and tools.
