The National Ocean Council’s Portal for Ocean Data

The National Ocean Council recently established its portal for Ocean Data.  The ocean data portal is available here. The CRE has been monitoring the activities of the National Ocean Council and will be monitoring the NOC’s data as it is released.  The CRE invites the public to do the same by commenting on this IPD.

Below is information about the portal as released by the National Ocean Council:

This is the National Ocean Council’s portal for data, information, and tools to support people engaged in planning for the future of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes.  Our goal is to be a one-stop hub to support planners and to provide useful information to the public.

OIRA Watch

Some two dozen legislative proposals to improve the regulatory process are under consideration by the Congress.  Nonetheless, the immediate relief needed for job creation can come though OIRA.

Accordingly  we have launched an interactive public docket (IPD), OIRA Watch,  aimed at demonstrating the need for OIRA to act on particular issues of interest.

The impact of any “Watch” site is heavily depending upon the credibility of its sponsor; please view CRE’s credentials, giving particular attention to the information contained in this link.
