Overview
• Gulf of Mexico Alliance
• Ocean and Coastal Mapping
• Regional Ecosystem Data Management (REDM)
• Q2O (QARTOD to OGC)
• Things to Consider
3
Partnership of the states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas
Goal: Significantly increase regional collaboration to enhance the ecological and economic health of the Gulf of Mexico
Gulf Of Mexico Alliance
4
Six initial priority issues
– regionally significant
– can be effectively addressed through increased collaboration
Priority Issue Teams
– Water Quality for Healthy Beaches and Shellfish Beds
– Wetland and Coastal Conservation and Restoration
– Environmental Education
– Reducing Nutrient Inputs to Coastal Ecosystems
– Coastal Community Resiliency
– Identification and Characterization of Gulf Habitats
Overarching Efforts
– Gulf of Mexico Ocean and Coastal Mapping
and Monitoring Master Plan
– Data Management
Gulf Of Mexico Alliance
5
The Governors’ Action Plan identifies one associated action:
ID-1: Create and provide access to interactive habitat maps for priority Gulf of Mexico habitats
Sample of data needs
bathymetry, lidar, side scan, sediments, bottom character, oyster beds, seagrass, emergent vegetation, submerged aquatic vegetation
Supporting ProductsPriority Habitat Information System (PHINS) Digital Library and Spatial Data Viewer
- USGS, USACE, NOAA worked together to build the PHINS portal
- Other federal and state agencies, universities, and NGOs contribute their data
- PHINS three main features: Digital Library, Map Viewer, Metadata Tool
Ecosystem Data Assembly Center
- NCDDC, NMFS, MSU, NRL, NAVO, NGI
- support ecosystem observations and other related data collected in GoMex

Goal: improve the efficiency of the nation's ocean and coastal mapping activities
Interagency Working Group: USGS, NOAA, USACE, MMS
• provide information about planned, current, and completed mapping activities
• all types of data that describe the earth • initial priorities will emphasize activities and data sets:
– elevation (bathymetry/hydrography/topography)– shorelines– surface characterization (sea floor mapping, landcover classifications)– seismic data
Ocean and Coastal Mapping

Regional Ecosystem Data Management (REDM)
• Architecture that supports NOAA Ecosystem Goal Team and Integrated Ecosystem Assessments (IEAs)
• GCOOS sources of data for IEAs: contributes to REDM
• Semantic search capabilities, vocabulary management, affiliations, etc. in REDM can be utilized by GCOOS
• ecowatch.ncddc.noaa.gov

Q2O (QARTOD to OGC SWE)
11
• New partners / different data / different perspectives on data management
• Coordination with GOMA data management activities– How can GCOOS support the data needs for GOMA Priority Issues
– How do the GOMA Priority Issue Teams contribute data into GCOOS
• Ocean and Coastal Mapping activities– Consider the benefit to stakeholders to connect to these survey data
through GCOOS
• Regional Ecosystem Data Management– Approach to semantic search enhance GCOOS data discovery
– Broaden REDM with additional community-driven data classifications (thematic vocabularies)
• Q2O– Capturing quality control in an OGC SWE framework
– Coordination with DIF
• Process for extensibility of GCOOS DMAC to new data sources
