Benefits of Geographic Information Systems for State and Regional Ocean Management

Creator:: Sowers, Derek C.
Abstract:: The current and potential benefits of using geographic information systems (GIS) to support state-level and regional-scale ocean management in the United States are evaluated. Specifically, the role of GIS in facilitating improved integration of management strategies for a variety of resource use issues across multiple management jurisdictions is examined, along...

Correlations of sea surface height and solid earth tides with seismicity in the equatorial Pacific Ocean : a GIS approach

Creator:: Zennaro, Barbara
Abstract:: In the equatorial Pacific Ocean, earthquakes are used as an indicator of tectonic stress for normal faults in the Galapagos Spreading Center, transform faults along the East Pacific Rise and thrust faults in the Middle American subduction zone. Linkages between seafloor tectonic processes and oceanographic and lunar conditions were explored...

The application of geographic information systems for delineation and classification of tidal wetlands for resource management of Oregon’s coastal watersheds

Creator:: Scranton, Russell W.
Abstract:: Resource managers of Oregon’s tidal wetlands require an improved GIS layer for management of existing tidal wetland habitat and areas considered for tidal wetland restoration. A reconnaissance project was initiated, such that interpretations of remote sensing data, the National Wetland Inventory, Oregon Estuary Plan Book and additional management tools were...

Identifying potential wetland restoration sites for estuary-wide restoration planning in Oregon : A pilot project in the Coos Estuary

Creator:: Fuss, J. David
Abstract:: Oregon's estuaries have been significantly altered by human activity, so that many former tidal wetlands no longer provide the functions, such as fish and wildlife habitat, erosion protection from storms, and water quality maintenance, that preserve the integrity of estuarine ecosystems. Oregon has been a leader in wetland protection and...

Geographic information system implementation for coastal management on small islands - with a case study on Saipan, commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands

Creator:: Schonder, Charles
Abstract:: From mid-June to early October of 1997, the author worked in the Coastal Resources Management Division (CRMD) on the island of Saipan, in the western tropical Pacific (Figure 1). The University of Oregon Micronesia and South Pacific Program and the government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)...

GIS training materials for coastal managers : An internship at the NOAA Coastal Services Center: 2003

Creator:: Pattison, Danielle B.
Abstract:: One of the crucial components of marine and coastal resource management is using the best available data for decision-making. There are many facets however, to what makes data available and useable. Even though data may exist for many natural resource and marine resource issues, they don't always come in accessible...

An interactive metadata catalog for the Tillamook Bay national estuary project geographic information system

Creator:: Benoit, Gregory M.
Abstract:: The collection, evaluation, and organization of spatial information is instrumental to the successful development and execution of planning policies and management programs. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide the technology to integrate varying informational needs into a single relational database for ease in data retrieval and analysis. The use of a...

A geographic information system and remote sensing to support community-based coastal hazards planning in the Netarts Littoral Cell, Oregon

Creator:: Revell, David
Abstract:: The 14-km long Netarts Littoral Cell, located on the northern Oregon coast, experienced episodic erosion as a result of the severe 1997-98 El Nino and 1998-99 La Nina. The erosion events led to the development of a unique partnership bridging scientists, stakeholders, and various planning agencies. To address these erosion...

Development of benthic habitat maps and GIS (Geographic Information System) modelling to support coastal zone management in Phu Quoc, Vietnam

Creator:: Nguyen, Vinh X.
Abstract:: Situated off the west coast of Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand, Phu Quoc archipelago and its waters are well-known for their rich natural resources, especially the bounty of fishery resources. Under increasing pressure from the growing population, fishing, and tourism development, there is a strong need to formulate an...

Tillamook Bay national estuary project watershed information system

Creator:: Busse, Katherine M.
Abstract:: This report is organized into four chapters that provide background on watershed topics, GIS applications, and methodology related to development of the TBNEP Watershed Information System. The need for this product is established in Chapter two. First, the role of ecosystem management and the Tillamook Bay watershed is presented before...
