EcoGIS
Plans/Timeline
The next steps for the EcoGIS project are:
- Work with the Fishery Management Councils, NMFS Science Centers
and other NMFS and NOS staff to understand and document the near-
and long-term GIS functional
requirements of fishery managers and scientists (through June
2005)
- Assess the data needs for the project; inventory and
evaluate the quality, timeliness, and spatial resolution of
these data sets (through June 2005)
- Develop prototype GIS tools to demonstrate solutions to the needs
expressed in the functional requirements document (by October
2005)
- Develop fully functional GIS tools to meet priority
needs (by October 2006)
- Research the role of GIS and geospatial data in an ecosystem approach to management. Publish Milestone Report detailing project history, progress, findings, and future recommendations (by May 2008).
