Easy Access to Ocean Data
The Northeast Ocean Data Portal is a decision support and information system for people engaged in ocean planning in the region from the Gulf of Maine to Long Island Sound. This website provides access to data, interactive maps, tools, and other information needed for decision making. The primary audiences for this effort include regional managers, ocean stakeholders, and technical staff. The Northeast Ocean Data Portal builds on existing efforts in the region and provides additional capacity for both state- and regional-level ocean planning.
