WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.690 Alright welcome everybody, we're very pleased to have you join us with our 00:00:05.690 --> 00:00:15.940 National Marine Sanctuaries webinar series. This series is hosted by the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries 00:00:15.940 --> 00:00:23.740 and it really is a way for us to connect -with formal and informal educators and other interested parties to provide you 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:30.120 with the educational resources as well as scientific expertise. This is also an 00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:35.250 opportunity to learn about new online resources like ocean reports which will 00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:39.660 be today's webinar and sometimes we even host training that will help support 00:00:39.660 --> 00:00:47.000 ocean and climate literacy and conservation in your classroom and your facilities with your audiences. 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.220 So during today's presentation all attendees will be in listen-only mode. 00:00:52.220 --> 00:00:55.540 If you have any technical difficulties or any questions 00:00:55.559 --> 00:01:00.570 comments ideas please go ahead and type them into the question box in your 00:01:00.570 --> 00:01:05.250 control panel. This is an area that myself and my 00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:10.200 co-host will be monitoring so that we can get to your questions or technical 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:17.150 issues as we can. I did want to let everybody know that there are 372 00:01:17.150 --> 00:01:21.470 registrants for today's webinar. These are people that have directly registered 00:01:21.470 --> 00:01:27.570 they are representing potentially up to almost 800 additional individuals so 00:01:27.570 --> 00:01:33.240 pretty exciting there's high interest in today's presentation. We also have 23 00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:39.000 countries being represented on today, oh sorry 23, plus the United States being 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.680 represented. So, let me give you just a sense of some of these countries 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.670 participating we've got several representatives from Colombia, India, 00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:54.509 France, Canada, Mexico, Australia, China, Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia, 00:01:54.509 --> 00:02:01.680 Suriname, United Kingdom, Italy, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Nigeria, Guatemala, Bangladesh 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.979 Kenya, Germany, and Myanmar others. So thanks for everyone's high interest in 00:02:07.979 --> 00:02:12.510 ocean reports and for joining us and also a quick shout out to Walton High 00:02:12.510 --> 00:02:15.930 School in Florida who is likely participating with 00:02:15.930 --> 00:02:21.689 a group in the classroom there. So before we begin with our guest speaker I did 00:02:21.689 --> 00:02:26.920 want to do a quick introduction to the National Marine Sanctuary system. 00:02:26.920 --> 00:02:32.660 Each of these blue dots on the map represent one of our underwater parks. 00:02:32.660 --> 00:02:38.240 These are in the ocean and/or Great Lakes and the National Marine Sanctuary system is made 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:43.980 up of 13 National Marine Sanctuaries and two Marine National Monuments. 00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:47.680 In just another couple of weeks we'll be making an exciting announcement about an 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.560 additional national marine sanctuary that's recently been designated 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.109 but I'll hold out for that but this area encompasses about 600,000 square 00:02:58.109 --> 00:03:06.060 nautical miles of ocean and Great Lakes treasures, from Lake Huron in Thunder Bay 00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:11.150 National Marine Sanctuary to our American Samoa site in the South Pacific. 00:03:11.150 --> 00:03:17.020 So again these national marine sanctuaries really do help to protect our ocean and Great Lakes. 00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:23.360 They're areas of significance that have been set aside for a variety of reasons. 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.460 In some cases set aside by Congress, 00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:31.340 in others through stakeholder driven processes and communities. But they're set aside for 00:03:31.340 --> 00:03:38.940 either conservation value, recreation, ecological, cultural etc, or oftentimes for multiple reasons. 00:03:38.940 --> 00:03:44.620 We like to call our national marine sanctuaries living classrooms, 00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:48.500 because truly these are places if they are near you that you can 00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:54.239 see touch and learn about these underwater treasures. So, with that I'll 00:03:54.239 --> 00:04:00.030 do a quick introduction of myself. My name is Clare Fackler and I'm the 00:04:00.030 --> 00:04:05.360 national education liaison working for the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. 00:04:05.380 --> 00:04:10.880 I'll be running today's webinar as the host from Santa Barbara California. 00:04:10.880 --> 00:04:15.560 With me, my colleague Hannah MacDonald, who is our 00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:19.620 telepresence distance learning education specialist also with the National Marine Sanctuaries 00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:26.039 is going to be running any questions and ideas that come through 00:04:26.039 --> 00:04:28.860 the question box or addressing any technical issues and 00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:32.580 she's going to be from Silver Spring Maryland. 00:04:32.580 --> 00:04:40.300 And then I'd like to now introduce our guest speaker. So we have Dr. James A. Morris Jr.. 00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:46.340 He's actually in Beaufort North Carolina participating today. His presentation is titled 00:04:46.350 --> 00:04:51.180 Ocean reports the first intelligent web application for marine spatial analysis 00:04:51.180 --> 00:04:58.850 of the entire United States EEZ. So Dr. Morris is a marine ecologist, 00:04:58.850 --> 00:05:04.100 hold on a second pop back in the marine ecologist sorry about that Hannah, 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:10.380 with the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science. 00:05:10.380 --> 00:05:17.600 His research really focuses on aquaculture, environmental interactions, sighting and sustainability. 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:22.940 So he actually founded the coastal aquaculture siting and sustainability research program 00:05:22.940 --> 00:05:25.980 and that's a bunch of multidisciplinary scientists, 00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:30.800 who develop tools and provide services for coastal managers. 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:35.440 His team is presently leading over 50 research projects around the United States 00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:41.200 on spatial planning for near shore and offshore aquaculture. 00:05:41.200 --> 00:05:55.160 And... Dr. Morris has cultivated dozens of species of species, 00:05:55.160 --> 00:06:02.100 of marine fish and shellfish for both laboratory experiments and seafood production. 00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:07.400 And Dr. Morris has decades of experience in commercial fishing and aquaculture industries. 00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:13.740 He's an adjunct assistant professor at both Duke University and North Carolina State University 00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:16.580 where he actually is an active teacher there 00:06:16.580 --> 00:06:19.820 and advises students from undergraduate to PhD levels. 00:06:19.820 --> 00:06:26.820 And very exciting in 2011 Dr. Morris received a presidential career award from President Obama 00:06:26.820 --> 00:06:31.680 So, with that we'll go ahead and hand the controls over to Dr. Morris, 00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:37.220 so that he can begin his presentation on ocean reports. 00:06:41.789 --> 00:06:45.903 Okay, thanks Claire. can you hear me and see the screen okay? 00:06:45.903 --> 00:06:51.600 You are looking good. Hannah and I will pop off our web cameras and leave it to you. Thank you. 00:06:51.640 --> 00:06:58.360 Very good, well thank you so much and thank you for this invitation to visit with everyone today. 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:03.680 This is an impressive congregation of educators and scientists 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.980 from literally around the world and what a what a wonderful opportunity this is. 00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:12.820 I'm a super fan of our National Marine Sanctuaries 00:07:12.820 --> 00:07:17.860 I work in the National Ocean Service similar to our 00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:22.040 host here that work with the National Marine Sanctuaries program. 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.450 That's under the auspices of the National Ocean Service. 00:07:24.450 --> 00:07:27.840 I work in the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, 00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:32.360 so we have a program office within the Ocean service 00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:36.699 that specializes in coastal management science. So it's a real pleasure to 00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:41.469 be able to tell you about some of the tools and science that we've been doing recently 00:07:41.469 --> 00:07:47.320 and specifically about ocean reports. Located also within the Ocean Service 00:07:47.320 --> 00:07:51.620 we have the Office for Coastal Management and it is within the 00:07:51.640 --> 00:07:58.880 Office of Coastal Management that we host a lot of marine data for our u.s. ocean and coastal space. 00:07:58.880 --> 00:08:03.009 What I'm going to present to you today is an overview of 00:08:03.009 --> 00:08:07.300 an application that we developed called ocean reports and we're in the process 00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:12.580 of rolling out that application and we are so excited about it. 00:08:12.580 --> 00:08:19.060 We feel like it's really bringing forward the next generation of GIS and 00:08:19.060 --> 00:08:24.820 ocean planning tools and it has really been well received around the around the U.S. 00:08:24.820 --> 00:08:28.600 and so thank you for this opportunity. 00:08:28.640 --> 00:08:36.600 So I'd like to progress to my next slide here let's see if it's working good. Yes so, I would be remiss if 00:08:36.610 --> 00:08:40.479 I didn't share with you that there is a very large team of scientists that have 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:45.040 been working with us on this ocean reports application. 00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:50.080 So here we have the project leadership team, which consists of myself, David Stein with the 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:55.980 Office of Coastal Management, and then Christine Taylor with the Bureau of Oceans and Energy Management. 00:08:55.980 --> 00:09:00.680 Together these two line offices within these two offices within 00:09:00.680 --> 00:09:06.079 the ocean Service and the other federal agency boa in addition to 00:09:06.079 --> 00:09:10.029 with with support from other federal agencies, like the Department of Energy, 00:09:10.029 --> 00:09:16.100 have worked together to bring resources comprising around 10 years of work 00:09:16.100 --> 00:09:20.760 to build the data sets that were let me talk about today and 00:09:20.760 --> 00:09:28.160 millions of dollars in in science programming, science data, acquisition and then analytical support. 00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:37.040 These resources to develop this application have been sourced from multiple federal agencies 00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:43.160 and non-governmental organizations. Specifically a blended workforce with 00:09:43.160 --> 00:09:49.560 government contractors that represented marine spatial ecologists, marine ecologists, 00:09:49.560 --> 00:09:55.860 we have computer programmers, we have advanced GIS specialists, 00:09:55.879 --> 00:10:01.790 that all came together to to build this application, so I want to make sure 00:10:01.790 --> 00:10:05.420 that everyone knows that this was not done by one or two people. 00:10:05.420 --> 00:10:10.569 This was done by by dozens of scientists over the course of the last ten years and the 00:10:10.569 --> 00:10:15.840 application itself, the ocean report application, was built over the last two to three years. 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:26.860 So imagine if you could for a moment in your mind's eye 00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:33.520 pull up a map on the internet and draw a box anywhere in the ocean 00:10:33.520 --> 00:10:39.840 and in one second obtain a comprehensive spatial analysis for that ocean space. 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.230 This was our goal when building ocean reports. 00:10:45.230 --> 00:10:53.660 We envisioned a day in which we could make accessible the tens of thousands of data layers 00:10:53.660 --> 00:11:00.589 that we collectively had a mass within our Marine cadastre framework. 00:11:00.589 --> 00:11:03.950 Marine Cadastre is essentially a national 00:11:03.950 --> 00:11:10.280 repository data portal clearinghouse of all things marine spatial data. 00:11:10.280 --> 00:11:12.120 It's located within the office of coastal management. 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.860 It's supported by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. 00:11:14.860 --> 00:11:19.600 And this is a GIS spatial data repository 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:24.400 and map viewer that you can turn on and off data 00:11:24.400 --> 00:11:28.900 and you have to bring that data into your NGIS to analyze it those kind of things. 00:11:28.910 --> 00:11:33.350 We envision an application that would go out and reach out and grab that data and 00:11:33.350 --> 00:11:36.889 be able to bring it into an analytical engine and be able to return 00:11:36.889 --> 00:11:42.649 infographics and reports within seconds. That was the vision for ocean reports 00:11:42.649 --> 00:11:47.420 and by the way we want to be able to do it anywhere in the u.s. EEZ 00:11:47.420 --> 00:11:53.779 and we wanted to be able to run those automated spatial analyses 00:11:53.779 --> 00:12:00.920 to look at cross ocean neighborhoods repetitively within a second or two. 00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:07.339 This was a really intense vision, something that we really didn't know that we could 00:12:07.339 --> 00:12:13.970 accomplish when we set out or the or the difficulties that would ensue 00:12:13.970 --> 00:12:18.880 and it was a really ambitious vision, but it was our vision and one that we were very passionate about. 00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:24.170 I want to share with you some quick facts about ocean reports. 00:12:24.170 --> 00:12:28.960 So, I would share again that this was a BOEM NOAA partnership, 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:37.220 was part of marinecadastre.gov, this is an automated spatial analytical tool, 00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:43.040 and it provides automation to spatial analyses, which is somewhat of a new concept. 00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:48.800 we're looking at over a hundred data sets from Marine Cadastre within Ocean Reports. 00:12:48.800 --> 00:12:55.560 Ocean Reports provides easy to interpret infographics, charts, graphs, and other graphics. 00:12:55.560 --> 00:13:01.540 The users include industries, consultants, planners policymakers and scientists, 00:13:01.540 --> 00:13:05.920 so we built this tool with all of those customers in mind. 00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:10.220 We use commercial and open source software and I'll talk about that in a second 00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:15.510 and it is it is lightning fast it literally can return report in about a second. 00:13:15.510 --> 00:13:20.060 So what are some benefits of this tool before we demonstrate it. 00:13:20.060 --> 00:13:26.860 One is that it really can increase regulatory efficiency and transparency. 00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:32.920 We have work to think about this application which, is an intelligent web application as being 00:13:32.920 --> 00:13:39.430 able to increase ocean literacy, we call it our ocean IQ a better 00:13:39.430 --> 00:13:43.820 understanding of ocean neighborhoods and those kind of things. 00:13:43.820 --> 00:13:46.160 Who benefits from that? 00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:49.540 Well Honestly everyone benefits from that. Whether your industry looking 00:13:49.540 --> 00:13:53.140 for opportunities for ocean commerce or ocean industry development 00:13:53.140 --> 00:13:58.000 or if you're environmental NGOs and concerned about conservation. 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:02.000 Let's say that you are a protected area, marine protected area manager. 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.060 Motion reports can provide you with a really detailed analytical 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.300 information about the ocean neighborhood, which can really change 00:14:10.300 --> 00:14:14.900 your perspective and understanding of that ocean space. 00:14:14.900 --> 00:14:19.740 Governments can be better informed regulators can can save time and money because of the 00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:24.000 transparency and the availability of these ocean neighborhood analyses. 00:14:24.010 --> 00:14:28.450 This can do things like decrease the number of false starts for permitting 00:14:28.450 --> 00:14:32.350 processes which can cost millions of dollars. 00:14:32.350 --> 00:14:34.690 So how do we pull it off? 00:14:34.690 --> 00:14:40.630 So, those of you that may be into GIS this this hopefully is useful information, but 00:14:40.630 --> 00:14:46.300 we essentially work with the Microsoft Azure cloud to be able to provide web 00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:52.690 services and ArcGIS map services using Postgres with push GIS and SQL servers. 00:14:52.690 --> 00:14:59.020 This shows you the basic architecture of the web app that we built to do this we 00:14:59.020 --> 00:15:02.860 work with a technology stack that was literally about a dozen different applications. 00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:08.350 Here you can see a list of those. I'm not going to go into the individual applications 00:15:08.350 --> 00:15:14.560 but this is a custom-built web application. 00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:20.020 We were able to hire some of the best computer programmers and computer engineers to be 00:15:20.020 --> 00:15:26.480 able to build this that this app. This is a this is a customized app that's unique to marine spacial GIS. 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.220 What we were able to do though is 00:15:29.230 --> 00:15:33.430 I show you a bit about the performance of this application. So, when you go and 00:15:33.430 --> 00:15:39.040 draw a box or a polygon of any shape or size into the coastal ocean this is what happens. 00:15:39.040 --> 00:15:43.750 You are able to see about 80 infographics. 00:15:43.750 --> 00:15:49.810 To produce those infographics about 97 queries have been performed across 150 vector and raster 00:15:49.810 --> 00:15:57.840 data layers and all this is done in real time. The average return time is around 0.3 seconds, 00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:02.960 less than a second. It depends on the speed of your network connection of course 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.889 and then the the types of data that you're looking at but 00:16:05.889 --> 00:16:12.579 we're looking at less than a second. We did a lot of user interactions as we 00:16:12.579 --> 00:16:16.630 were developing working on performance and we spent a lot of time working on 00:16:16.630 --> 00:16:20.350 the performance and the analytical engine to make sure that it could 00:16:20.350 --> 00:16:26.760 perform fast because we all know that if it's not fast we get frustrated and we move on 00:16:26.760 --> 00:16:31.620 and we knew that in order for the tool to be effective it has to be fast. 00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:34.360 so now we're going to switch to a live demonstration. 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:39.089 I'm going to a sound and screen check in. Claire we do it ok? 00:16:39.089 --> 00:16:49.120 Things are still looking good and go ahead and pull up your website and it's anything like run smoothly. 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.460 Ok are we up now with Ocean Reports? 00:16:50.460 --> 00:16:52.120 We are indeed, yes. 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:58.959 Ok great, so to get to the ocean report website you can go to for example 00:16:58.959 --> 00:17:05.650 you can go to google and type in ocean reports and what will pop up will be the 00:17:05.650 --> 00:17:11.559 first link on the ocean reports website. So you click on ocean reports it takes 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:13.986 you to the NOAA Office of Coastal management. 00:17:13.986 --> 00:17:18.069 I like to share with you, there's a great video it's a one-minute promotional video 00:17:18.069 --> 00:17:22.900 right here on Ocean Reports I encourage you to watch it. It's a really exciting video 00:17:22.900 --> 00:17:23.400 and you can click on the launch here to launch the ocean reports app. 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:27.880 So, if we do that we have the app that will pop up here on the website. 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:38.350 So this is the homepage for the app. You have two options on the homepage you can go 00:17:38.350 --> 00:17:42.100 to draw a custom area or you can view a quick report. 00:17:42.100 --> 00:17:44.726 Quick reports are reports that have already been developed. 00:17:44.726 --> 00:17:50.029 We've developed these for special places like the National Marine Sanctuary, so I'd like to show you 00:17:50.029 --> 00:17:54.950 what a quick report would look like for example let's just say that we're going 00:17:54.950 --> 00:17:55.450 to go to the Channel Islands Marine Sanctuary. So we can search that. 00:17:55.450 --> 00:18:06.980 Up pops the national sanctuary and there you have a spatial neighborhood analysis for 00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:09.180 the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. 00:18:09.180 --> 00:18:11.160 So I'd like to orient you for just a second about the the app viewer. 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:18.300 What we have here on the left-hand side is we have these series of reports. 00:18:18.300 --> 00:18:22.140 So we have six reports. The first one is general information, 00:18:22.140 --> 00:18:31.964 which provides some analytical information about the specific space that you just drew over on the map. 00:18:31.964 --> 00:18:38.220 In this case we chose a quick report so it maps for us the Channel Islands boundaries. 00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:46.840 As we scroll down in there we can see that this Nation Marine Sanctuary is approximately 1,500 square miles. 00:18:46.860 --> 00:18:51.019 Here's the depth and elevation for the Channel Islands. So we go down to 00:18:51.020 --> 00:18:57.230 around 1,600 meters and we have a elevation of around 83 meters, which 00:18:57.230 --> 00:19:01.060 include some of the land that's in there in the sanctuary. 00:19:01.060 --> 00:19:05.860 So if we wanted to look at the data here let's look at the bathymetry data. 00:19:05.860 --> 00:19:10.592 What we do is we click on data layers and we turn on the button 00:19:10.592 --> 00:19:15.820 and on our map will display the bathymetry data. 00:19:15.820 --> 00:19:19.380 And so this allows you to zoom in and out and look at the depth contours 00:19:19.380 --> 00:19:22.080 and such and of course to turn those off we can just 00:19:22.080 --> 00:19:25.820 go right back and turn the button off we can turn and we turn those off. 00:19:25.840 --> 00:19:30.980 So scrolling on down, here are the populated places near the sanctuary. 00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:35.990 So we have a City, the closest city is Oxford it has a population around 200,000 people 00:19:35.990 --> 00:19:39.900 and it's approximately nine miles from sanctuary. 00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:44.160 Here we see that the sanctuary is located within both state and federal waters. 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.880 So if I was curious about that I could say, well where exactly are the boundaries? 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:49.730 We can turn on the boundaries 00:19:49.730 --> 00:19:53.140 and we see that they're staying waters directly around the islands. 00:19:53.140 --> 00:19:57.490 Then we see where the federal waters exist within the sanctuary and then we have a 00:19:57.490 --> 00:20:00.520 pie chart that shows us exactly the percentages. 00:20:00.520 --> 00:20:04.860 Moving on down we've mapped the congressional districts that are nearby. 00:20:04.860 --> 00:20:06.760 So these are located within, we're 00:20:06.760 --> 00:20:09.860 showing all districts within 12 nautical miles. 00:20:09.860 --> 00:20:12.720 For every infographic we thought of rules. 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:16.000 What are what is the rules that's going to govern information that 00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.760 we would like to know about that Ocean neighborhood? 00:20:18.760 --> 00:20:19.990 So for this one for example 00:20:19.990 --> 00:20:25.540 we mapped 12 nautical miles from the report, area or the closest three 00:20:25.540 --> 00:20:30.220 if there are none within 12 nautical miles. So every infographic has the rule nearby. 00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:36.960 So for this one we know that the Channel Islands is within three congressional districts, 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:41.100 and here are the congressional districts that they're within. 00:20:41.100 --> 00:20:43.720 So this would be very important for mation to be able to 00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:48.550 contact your local congressional representatives to discuss any issues that you would like. 00:20:48.550 --> 00:20:52.700 We also mapped the Senate and the House districts as well. 00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:58.520 We also provide federal statutes that are located within the area there. 00:20:58.520 --> 00:21:04.000 That'll be more important later as we do another custom area. 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.700 Moving on down we have information about the energy and minerals. 00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:12.500 So located within within the Channel Islands National Marine sanctuary, 00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:19.560 here we have a wind graphic which provides a win a potential wind resource model output, 00:21:19.560 --> 00:21:22.960 that says if we were to develop wind energy within this 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:29.900 sanctuary we could potentially supply around two million households with wind energy. 00:21:29.900 --> 00:21:35.770 Now of course that's probably not realistic, but given this model this 00:21:35.770 --> 00:21:40.270 model basically can take potential wind energy projections and 00:21:40.280 --> 00:21:45.080 show you what that's going to look like anywhere in the U.S. EEZ. 00:21:45.080 --> 00:21:50.020 Moving on down, the Channel Islands are not located within a wind planting area. 00:21:50.020 --> 00:21:54.420 It's also not located within a wind energy lease. We're finding here that there are 00:21:54.420 --> 00:21:59.800 three oil and gas geologic areas and it list those. 00:21:59.800 --> 00:22:06.340 For example, within the santa barbara venture of Nissen and it tells you the types of energy place that exists there. 00:22:06.340 --> 00:22:09.970 We are located in an oil and gas planning area and then 00:22:09.970 --> 00:22:14.980 we have active oil and gas leases nearby and it shows there are four lease blocks 00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:21.520 within the sanctuary area and I can turn those on and here you see big here are 00:22:21.520 --> 00:22:26.820 the four lease blocks that are on the corner of the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. 00:22:26.820 --> 00:22:30.610 Now I hope that for a moment you're beginning to see and understand 00:22:30.610 --> 00:22:36.460 just what's happening here in terms of how your ocean IQ is drastically 00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:40.870 increasing about this particular ocean space. You're beginning to learn all 00:22:40.870 --> 00:22:44.470 kinds of things about this ocean neighborhood by being able to visualize 00:22:44.470 --> 00:22:49.200 the data on the map and being able to read the infographic here on the screen. 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:55.440 Scrolling on down we've mapped where the local electric power facilities are near the coast. 00:22:55.440 --> 00:23:00.340 So we have seventeen energy facilities here and we can 00:23:00.340 --> 00:23:05.080 turn those on as well and look at their proximity to this ocean space. 00:23:05.080 --> 00:23:08.940 Here you can see that those would pop up here on the map along the coastlines. 00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:14.940 Moving on we have information about LOC areas and sand resources. 00:23:14.940 --> 00:23:18.700 We have information about federal sand and gravel leases. 00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:23.580 We have a beach renourishment projects. There are six beach renourishment projects 00:23:23.580 --> 00:23:28.580 within 15 miles of this sanctuary of this ocean space. So here I can turn those on. 00:23:28.580 --> 00:23:34.140 Now this is a great feature that you can turn on and off different map views be 00:23:34.150 --> 00:23:38.980 able to look at the data interact with the data. You can also turn and clear the 00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:44.290 data on the map so that you can sort of visualize whatever you want to look at 00:23:44.290 --> 00:23:50.230 in terms of the data. So here we're going to go to different map views and sort of 00:23:50.230 --> 00:23:57.700 stick with one that we think is...that we want to look at right now as we are 00:23:57.700 --> 00:24:04.270 scrolling through different data. We have also information about sand texture, we 00:24:04.270 --> 00:24:08.410 have information about ocean disposal sites. So here there are four ocean disposal sites 00:24:08.410 --> 00:24:12.460 within ten novel miles of the sanctuary. We can turn those on and we can look at 00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:16.510 where exactly those exists on the map so here you see we have these ocean 00:24:16.510 --> 00:24:21.700 disposal sites here within the proximity of a sanctuary. 00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:25.779 The next report that we had information about the natural resources 00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:31.299 and conservation within this ocean space. So what we're going to do is we're going 00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:35.169 to zoom back into the sanctuary here. We're going to turn off and give us a 00:24:35.169 --> 00:24:40.450 fresh slate with no data showing yet. You know, the first thing that we report 00:24:40.450 --> 00:24:44.769 is endangered species. We look at critical habitats. So there are a number 00:24:44.769 --> 00:24:51.100 of endangered species here. We have black abalone, we have the willow flycatcher, we 00:24:51.100 --> 00:24:56.139 have the tidewater goby, and it tells you exactly you, know, where those habitats 00:24:56.139 --> 00:25:02.230 exist. we in proximity sanctuary, so we can look at some of the habitat data and 00:25:02.230 --> 00:25:06.029 here you see around the Channel Islands themselves, we have some ESA, or 00:25:06.029 --> 00:25:09.399 endangered species critical habitat designations. 00:25:09.399 --> 00:25:14.080 We've also mapped highly migratory species. Here you see we have shark and 00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:18.070 fin fish species and we displayed the life stage that those species are likely 00:25:18.070 --> 00:25:24.340 to be within that ocean space. We have a cetacean or whale biologically important 00:25:24.340 --> 00:25:30.399 areas, and we see here that there are three whales that are very 00:25:30.399 --> 00:25:35.320 important to this area. So we can turn on feeding and migration and reproduction 00:25:35.320 --> 00:25:41.230 and and in resident population layers. We can look at those individually on the 00:25:41.230 --> 00:25:46.779 map and get an idea about where exactly those those important areas are for 00:25:46.779 --> 00:25:52.960 those whales. Now, we are also able to find out more information about these areas 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.580 by clicking on the 'I' button here beside the data layers, and it gives us a legend 00:25:57.580 --> 00:26:02.259 for the map. So here you can see that we have a feeding biological important area 00:26:02.259 --> 00:26:06.549 that is highlighted on the map there. Scrolling on down, we have information 00:26:06.549 --> 00:26:12.999 about birds from the Audubon Society; we have mapped out protected areas. So here 00:26:12.999 --> 00:26:17.860 are all the protected areas that are within that ocean neighborhood, within 15 00:26:17.860 --> 00:26:22.269 miles of that ocean space, that we have to select it. Here I can turn those on 00:26:22.269 --> 00:26:26.619 and we can look at the proximity of those protected areas. As you can see the 00:26:26.619 --> 00:26:30.460 national marine sanctuary itself is a protected area, so all of it is green as 00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:34.300 well. We also have information about artificial 00:26:34.300 --> 00:26:40.960 reefs, shallow corals, deep-sea corals, and then we also map coastal barrier 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.730 resource areas. Now moving on to oceanography, we are very excited being 00:26:45.730 --> 00:26:53.590 within the natural ocean service. We have wonderful oceanographers that are on the 00:26:53.590 --> 00:26:59.260 top of the game in terms of understanding oceanography around the US 00:26:59.260 --> 00:27:02.590 and around the world, and we have a partnered with some of the best 00:27:02.590 --> 00:27:08.170 oceanographers to be able to develop an instantaneous oceanographic 00:27:08.170 --> 00:27:15.400 analysis within ocean reports. So here we see some climatologies of current 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:20.170 speed, we provide a rose for that, which tells us magnitude and direction 00:27:20.170 --> 00:27:24.850 of the current. We can also turn on current data and look at the current 00:27:24.850 --> 00:27:29.110 vectors on the map. We also have information about significant wave 00:27:29.110 --> 00:27:34.780 height and period direction. We can also turn on the wave data as well and 00:27:34.780 --> 00:27:39.820 visualize that on the map. So we see here the general 00:27:39.820 --> 00:27:43.000 direction of waves. Obviously this is a very complex 00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:47.800 oceanographic area because of those islands, but this tells us that the 00:27:47.800 --> 00:27:52.480 magnitude there and direction, predominant wave directions. Here are 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:58.020 wave period information by month. We also have prevailing wind speed and direction. 00:27:58.020 --> 00:28:05.140 We also have tropical cyclone currents. We have sea surface height. We have wet 00:28:05.140 --> 00:28:08.710 chemistry, such as salinity and temperature, and interestingly, we were able 00:28:08.710 --> 00:28:14.110 to to look at those temperature and salinity values at depth using model 00:28:14.110 --> 00:28:20.410 oceanographic data to be able to look at how temperature changes with depth. We're 00:28:20.410 --> 00:28:24.040 also able to look at nutrient information such as nitrates, phosphates, 00:28:24.040 --> 00:28:28.480 and silicates, and we have that nutrient information at depth as well. And 00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:34.210 aragonite, we also have information about light and nutrients; chlorophyll A 00:28:34.210 --> 00:28:39.940 concentrations. The transportation infrastructure report is basically where 00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:47.770 the ocean industries is reported here in ocean reports. So one of the most 00:28:47.770 --> 00:28:52.900 fascinating data sets in here is vessel count data. So we're able to turn on and 00:28:52.900 --> 00:28:57.850 display vessel traffic that is happening around this ocean space, and here you can 00:28:57.850 --> 00:29:05.350 see we have vessel traffic data going in and out of various ports here to the 00:29:05.350 --> 00:29:10.510 east of the Channel Islands. Here also we have vessel traffic going north 00:29:10.510 --> 00:29:16.620 and south. This information can be broken down; we can look at just cargo vessels, 00:29:16.620 --> 00:29:20.740 there you can see the cargo vessel data is displaying on the map. We can also 00:29:20.740 --> 00:29:25.360 look at fishing vessels, and that data will show up there. We also have 00:29:25.360 --> 00:29:30.850 information on passenger vessels; there you can see the passenger vessels and 00:29:30.850 --> 00:29:35.640 see how frequently they are visiting the Channel Islands. We have 00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:42.880 sailing, we also have tanker, and then we have tug and towed vessels. And it's very 00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:46.090 interesting to look at all the different traffic patterns that's happening within 00:29:46.090 --> 00:29:50.620 this ocean space. We have vessel routing information, we have information about 00:29:50.620 --> 00:29:54.570 designated anchorage areas around ports, of course a lot of those will pop up 00:29:54.570 --> 00:29:59.350 around our port areas, and there you can see some of those designated anchorage 00:29:59.350 --> 00:30:04.660 areas. We have information about pilot boarding areas and ports and maintained 00:30:04.660 --> 00:30:08.800 channels, we have danger and restricted zones, so this is our Department of 00:30:08.800 --> 00:30:13.210 Defense data that shows where some of the danger and restricted areas. Here you 00:30:13.210 --> 00:30:18.040 can see we have one danger zone that's associated with the US Navy. I can turn 00:30:18.040 --> 00:30:22.929 that on and here we see that we have some areas that are restricted here 00:30:22.929 --> 00:30:26.559 around the channel islands, one in particular within the Channel Islands 00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:31.600 national marine sanctuary. We also have information about unexploded ordnance 00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:36.100 areas, so if you're at ocean industry developer and you're looking to develop 00:30:36.100 --> 00:30:40.809 something that might impact the bottom, you may want to be careful around 00:30:40.809 --> 00:30:46.510 unexploded ordnance areas for example. And then we have wrecks and obstructions 00:30:46.510 --> 00:30:51.850 and seafloor infrastructure and wastewater outfalls, aquaculture lighting 00:30:51.850 --> 00:30:56.230 zones and those kind of things. Lastly in the reports, we have economics 00:30:56.230 --> 00:31:00.429 and commerce. So here we have an economic models that are run; it tells us about 00:31:00.429 --> 00:31:03.870 the number of marine dependent jobs. We map those for the 00:31:03.870 --> 00:31:08.100 nearest three states so that you can compare those states, look in terms of 00:31:08.100 --> 00:31:13.710 number of employees, wages, and gross domestic product. Here we have 00:31:13.710 --> 00:31:18.120 information about each sector. So here we have the state of California. The marine 00:31:18.120 --> 00:31:25.020 transportation sector represents 37% of the GDP, whereas we have shipbuilding and 00:31:25.020 --> 00:31:29.580 tourism recreation representing 49%. So this is telling us about that 00:31:29.580 --> 00:31:34.260 ocean economy that is within this ocean neighborhood and better understanding 00:31:34.260 --> 00:31:40.320 that. We also have census information; We're pulling in our federal fishery 00:31:40.320 --> 00:31:46.170 statistics information. So here you see you have the value, the annual value, of that 00:31:46.170 --> 00:31:50.700 fishery, the annual weight, and the price, average price per pound, of that federal 00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:55.740 fishery. All this is within this ocean neighborhood here. And then the 00:31:55.740 --> 00:32:01.920 Atlantic mean fishing economic value. So this is like...this is a quick 00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:04.410 report, so what we're going to do is, we're going to demonstrate a few more 00:32:04.410 --> 00:32:07.920 things but to do that, I'm going to jump out. We're going to go back to the 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:12.810 front page, and we're going to draw a custom area. And we're going to go to a 00:32:12.810 --> 00:32:16.830 part of the US that I know is really interesting, that has a lot of coastal 00:32:16.830 --> 00:32:21.720 development, ocean development, and it's among one of the most, sort of, 00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:25.650 interesting coastal regions in the US: this is the Gulf of Mexico, particularly 00:32:25.650 --> 00:32:30.150 the northern Gulf of Mexico. And we're going to draw a custom box, we're going 00:32:30.150 --> 00:32:34.170 to just pick a...we're just going to draw a polygon, it can be any kind of shape. It 00:32:34.170 --> 00:32:38.490 could be a square, or a rectangle...we're just going to draw up, basically a 00:32:38.490 --> 00:32:45.120 rectangle. And here you can see within one second we get a completed spatial 00:32:45.120 --> 00:32:49.620 analysis for that ocean space. So we're no longer looking at a quick report, this 00:32:49.620 --> 00:32:55.980 is a custom analysis. In fact, we can do it again if we wanted to; move this box 00:32:55.980 --> 00:32:58.380 to the north just a little bit, we'll run it again, 00:32:58.380 --> 00:33:03.120 there you can see that that analysis is completed. What I want to point out to 00:33:03.120 --> 00:33:09.990 you is is just how interesting-depending on your question, just how interesting 00:33:09.990 --> 00:33:14.160 things can get with ocean reports. So let's say that you are looking 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:18.480 to develop a new ocean industry. I work a lot in coastal aquaculture, so let's say 00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:22.440 that you're interested in siting an aquaculture farm just off the coast of 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.500 Louisiana, and you're trying to explore ocean neighborhoods to better 00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:29.850 understand them to look at where development of aquaculture (or any kind 00:33:29.850 --> 00:33:34.380 of ocean industry: wind energy or any kind of other coastal development) might 00:33:34.380 --> 00:33:39.690 be possible. So here we have drawn a box that's around 73 square miles. 00:33:39.690 --> 00:33:43.310 I'm going to jump down to the other industries that are working here, 00:33:43.310 --> 00:33:50.010 particularly to the seafloor infrastructure area. I'm going to turn on 00:33:50.010 --> 00:33:57.270 cables, cable areas, pipelines, pipeline areas for this ocean neighborhood. Now as 00:33:57.270 --> 00:34:00.720 you can see here that we have a whole lot of oil and gas infrastructure that 00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:04.320 exists within this ocean neighborhood. So we're going to zoom out just so we can 00:34:04.320 --> 00:34:08.610 get an idea of this, and then we're going to zoom in so we can kind of look about 00:34:08.610 --> 00:34:13.380 where in this ocean neighborhood...you know, what's happening. So here we have 80 00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:20.310 pipelines within that 75 square miles of space, so we know that we know that there 00:34:20.310 --> 00:34:24.750 are a lot of oil and gas pipelines there, so that would potentially be a problem 00:34:24.750 --> 00:34:31.500 for any kind of other development (or not: perhaps if you wanted to co-site 00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:35.400 along some of those) So I can go up here to the oil and gas platforms, for example, 00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:40.620 and I can turn those on and I can look and see...and in fact there are some active 00:34:40.620 --> 00:34:45.330 oil and gas platforms within that ocean space. And so this allows us to really 00:34:45.330 --> 00:34:50.820 understand what's happening here in terms of that ocean space and the 00:34:50.820 --> 00:34:56.310 interactions with the different types of ocean industries. So let's say that you 00:34:56.310 --> 00:35:02.580 have done an analysis and that you, using different reports, if you found some 00:35:02.580 --> 00:35:06.480 ocean space that you're really interested in sharing with your 00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:11.550 colleague or bringing to a meeting...let's say that you represent an environmental 00:35:11.550 --> 00:35:16.800 NGO or that you're concerned about some of the type of conservation issues or 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:22.380 whatever it might be for that ocean space. What you can do then is, you can go 00:35:22.380 --> 00:35:27.570 up to the menu and you can print the report. This print 00:35:27.570 --> 00:35:35.880 function will bring up a report for that ocean space that is the exact report 00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:40.770 that you were just looking at. Now this report is customizable, so you can click 00:35:40.770 --> 00:35:44.100 on the report type and you can choose the ocean industry that you're 00:35:44.100 --> 00:35:49.770 interested in. You can also click on the infographics and select only the 00:35:49.770 --> 00:35:53.940 infographics that you may be interested including in the report. And then you can 00:35:53.940 --> 00:35:58.400 print that as a PDF or you can provide a printout. 00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:02.850 Another option for you is to share the report. If you click on the share button, 00:36:02.850 --> 00:36:07.680 you get a link, and if you would send that link to anyone, it'll be the same 00:36:07.680 --> 00:36:12.930 exact report that you just ran in ocean reports. Same exact coordinates of that 00:36:12.930 --> 00:36:17.220 ocean space, it's completely shareable. Whoever receives that link, when they open it up, 00:36:17.220 --> 00:36:21.990 they'll be getting the same exact report. And then lastly in the menu, we have one 00:36:21.990 --> 00:36:27.960 more very important link and that is to the metadata. So here we have provided 00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:32.340 all of the metadata for all of the reports that is included in this analysis. 00:36:32.340 --> 00:36:37.470 If you click on the- you have options to download the data and so you can bring 00:36:37.470 --> 00:36:42.930 it into your own GIS, or you can click on the data source itself. It will take you 00:36:42.930 --> 00:36:47.040 to our metadata page, which provides all the information about 00:36:47.040 --> 00:36:52.560 how the data was collected, who the owners are, what's the age of the data, contact 00:36:52.560 --> 00:36:58.620 information to learn more about that data set, etc. etc. So this is very 00:36:58.620 --> 00:37:03.360 important when interpreting the results of ocean reports, to understand the data 00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:09.750 that is being analyzed, how it was analyzed, the age of the data, and that 00:37:09.750 --> 00:37:14.520 way you can base your interpretation by having first-hand information about the 00:37:14.520 --> 00:37:21.930 data and how it was collected. So with that, I will stop the live demo we'll go 00:37:21.930 --> 00:37:27.990 to our last screen there, and I'd just like to say we...thank you for tuning in 00:37:27.990 --> 00:37:31.860 to this webinar and learning more about ocean reports. I hope that the 00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:36.900 demonstration went well on the screen, that you were able to see the the 00:37:36.900 --> 00:37:40.680 different reports and how we navigated through our reports. I highly encourage 00:37:40.680 --> 00:37:43.240 you go check it out. Just go to our ocean 00:37:43.240 --> 00:37:48.580 reports app page and go explore the ocean! You'll certainly be able to 00:37:48.580 --> 00:37:54.150 increase your ocean IQ. We're extremely excited about how this app, 00:37:54.150 --> 00:38:01.630 which is really a next generation GIS application, can increase ocean literacy 00:38:01.630 --> 00:38:06.790 and increase the public awareness about ocean conservation and ocean commerce 00:38:06.790 --> 00:38:11.560 opportunities. This is really an app for everyone, we're very excited about the 00:38:11.560 --> 00:38:17.140 opportunity to build a curriculum from middle school to high school to college, 00:38:17.140 --> 00:38:22.540 where Americans can become more ocean literate and have a better understanding 00:38:22.540 --> 00:38:30.430 of how ocean commerce and ocean conservation really can affect our daily 00:38:30.430 --> 00:38:34.210 lives. So with that I'll stop, and I think we hopefully have a few minutes for 00:38:34.210 --> 00:38:36.359 questions and comments. 00:38:36.359 --> 00:38:41.590 Great, thank you so much James, and yeah, this question and 00:38:41.590 --> 00:38:46.450 discussion period is a little bit more open to ideas than our normal format of 00:38:46.450 --> 00:38:51.490 mostly questions, so if you have an idea of how to use ocean reports as a tool in 00:38:51.490 --> 00:38:55.660 your classroom, with your organization, your institution, please feel free to 00:38:55.660 --> 00:39:00.370 share that in the question box, and we can begin a discussion with James and 00:39:00.370 --> 00:39:10.600 other participants. For right now, we have a question from Amanda. She is asking 00:39:10.600 --> 00:39:17.800 "Will the data for Pacific marine national monuments be included?" 00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:23.780 That's a great question...so, are we sure it's not already? Let's go into the app and see. 00:39:23.790 --> 00:39:31.570 What we'll do is we'll go to view quick reports, and then I'll just want to type 00:39:31.570 --> 00:39:38.200 in monuments. Okay, so it looks like we currently don't have monuments in there. 00:39:38.200 --> 00:39:42.730 We're in the process of bringing in national parks, monuments wildlife refuge, 00:39:42.730 --> 00:39:47.830 and bringing in quick reports for those. That's pretty easy for us because all we 00:39:47.830 --> 00:39:51.340 have to do is get the geographical coordinates for those protected areas 00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:54.819 and we can bring it in, so yeah. Of course if your interested in 00:39:54.819 --> 00:40:01.029 data within those monuments right now, you can go and draw an approximate box around that 00:40:01.029 --> 00:40:04.689 area and get a quick report. There won't be the exact coordinates of the 00:40:04.689 --> 00:40:11.380 boundaries of the monument. But that's a great idea, we'll make a note of it. 00:40:11.380 --> 00:40:17.199 Thanks James. We have another question coming in from Vanessa, and she would like to 00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:22.650 know how you define spacial marine planification. 00:40:28.019 --> 00:40:35.650 "planification". I like the- if it's a new word, I like it. I mean it's...maybe 00:40:35.650 --> 00:40:42.249 maybe it's just another phrase of marine spatial analysis. Yeah, you know, I'm not 00:40:42.249 --> 00:40:47.109 sure where that- if that term is in the in the app, and that she's referring to 00:40:47.109 --> 00:40:52.179 it as part of, you know, the terminology of one of the the models or something 00:40:52.179 --> 00:40:57.849 like that. I can say that marine spatial 00:40:57.849 --> 00:41:05.229 planning is a general term, of course, that is used to do analysis of marine 00:41:05.229 --> 00:41:11.400 areas. And using spatial tools and spatial analytics like, you know, within 00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:16.779 various geographic information systems and software packages, you know, one can 00:41:16.779 --> 00:41:24.339 do and one can provide a lot of analytical studies that look at how 00:41:24.339 --> 00:41:30.459 things are are spatially related, and I think that's kind of the concept there 00:41:30.459 --> 00:41:36.609 that she was looking for. Yeah, I think generally that's the that's the concept 00:41:36.609 --> 00:41:39.476 of marine spatial planning. 00:41:39.476 --> 00:41:41.069 Great, thank you. 00:41:41.069 --> 00:41:47.799 Dina has a question about how you enter, like, a certain spot, and whether or not 00:41:47.799 --> 00:41:52.929 you can enter coordinates instead of just clicking a box, and if so, could you 00:41:52.929 --> 00:41:54.520 show us how to do that? 00:41:54.520 --> 00:41:59.499 Yeah, absolutely. So, I failed to show you some of the other 00:41:59.499 --> 00:42:07.839 tools...got respect for time, but on the right hand menu over here (you can still 00:42:07.839 --> 00:42:13.720 see my screen, right?) Yeah, so over on the right-hand 00:42:13.720 --> 00:42:19.060 side, we have a few different tools over here. We have a tool called view regions, we 00:42:19.060 --> 00:42:24.070 have one that is input coordinates. So you can input specific- here are the instructions, 00:42:24.070 --> 00:42:27.490 and if that coordinates for a particular area of the ocean, you can input those 00:42:27.490 --> 00:42:31.870 coordinates. Just one thing to point out is that the first coordinate and the 00:42:31.870 --> 00:42:36.270 last coordinate need to be the same because that closes the polygon and 00:42:36.270 --> 00:42:40.630 initiates running the report. So a lot of people will trip up on that. They can 00:42:40.630 --> 00:42:44.140 read the instructions, it's right here and the first and last coordinates are even the 00:42:44.140 --> 00:42:48.670 same. When you input those coordinates, they will...it'll 00:42:48.670 --> 00:42:54.190 automatically draw a box for you. We also have 'return to an area of interest': if 00:42:54.190 --> 00:42:57.730 you've navigated and got lost, kind of, in the ocean neighborhood, you can return 00:42:57.730 --> 00:43:02.290 to an area of interest. You can also search for a specific location. So let's 00:43:02.290 --> 00:43:09.210 say, for example, we wanted to look for a particular monument. So let's say that we... 00:43:09.210 --> 00:43:15.280 (well, that might not be a good one...) So we'll see the Florida Keys National Marine 00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:25.090 Sanctuary, and let's see where that would take us here. Yep, so here's...you can use this 00:43:25.090 --> 00:43:31.270 tool to navigate it to a specific location here, and that's a really...that's a really 00:43:31.270 --> 00:43:34.560 cool search engine there. If you're looking for a coastal town or a 00:43:34.560 --> 00:43:38.730 protected area or even something that might be on a nautical chart, like a 00:43:38.730 --> 00:43:42.160 location of a reef or something like that, you can just type it into that 00:43:42.160 --> 00:43:47.200 search function, it'll go there. We also have a measure tool that can be used to 00:43:47.200 --> 00:43:53.010 measure the distance on the- and it gives you that in kilometers, nautical miles, 00:43:53.010 --> 00:43:59.620 and miles, and then of course your zoom in and out. Those are those are the tools in 00:43:59.620 --> 00:44:01.600 the app. 00:44:01.600 --> 00:44:03.520 Yeah that was really helpful, thanks James. 00:44:03.520 --> 00:44:04.690 Thank you 00:44:04.690 --> 00:44:13.030 We have a question that's more biology focused coming in from... uh oh I lost 00:44:13.030 --> 00:44:20.590 the question...coming in from Derek, and it's about whether or not you can see 00:44:20.590 --> 00:44:25.380 the species involved in area, the fishing species, he noticed that 00:44:25.380 --> 00:44:30.210 there was economics of the fisheries but if there's a species presence and 00:44:30.210 --> 00:44:34.140 absence resource available. 00:44:34.140 --> 00:44:40.140 So we don't have comprehensive biogeographical data 00:44:40.140 --> 00:44:46.470 within ocean reports. It's a great idea, and in fact, our program in the 00:44:46.470 --> 00:44:51.990 National Centers of Global Ocean Science has a biogeographical focus. We have a 00:44:51.990 --> 00:44:55.800 biogeography branch, and that's what we do; we go out and do biogeographical 00:44:55.800 --> 00:45:00.060 assessments. And we've been thinking about how to bring in this sort of 00:45:00.060 --> 00:45:05.820 species distribution and abundance data for special places and regions that are 00:45:05.820 --> 00:45:13.380 bio-geo scientists are constantly collecting, analyzing, those data for. So 00:45:13.380 --> 00:45:17.130 we don't have comprehensive biogeographical data, but we of course do 00:45:17.130 --> 00:45:20.940 have some species in here. So if you go to the natural resources and 00:45:20.940 --> 00:45:24.900 conservation report, we mapped, of course, endangered species, 00:45:24.900 --> 00:45:29.940 which I showed you that, and then we also have highly migratory species. So we have 00:45:29.940 --> 00:45:35.369 we have fish and sharks that are within that special category of highly 00:45:35.369 --> 00:45:40.920 migratory species. And then we also have we have whales biologically important areas and 00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:46.829 bird areas. So that's the extent of sort of the the animals that that we've 00:45:46.829 --> 00:45:52.400 mapped. We also have corals, that's in coral data as well on the tool. 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:56.540 Great, thank you, and this is again about more information 00:45:56.550 --> 00:46:02.250 that might be in side ocean reports and that is "are you able to pull up any 00:46:02.250 --> 00:46:07.890 published info on the specific, like, published projects relevant to the area 00:46:07.890 --> 00:46:13.500 of your interest?"...in public reports scientific articles, (etc.) 00:46:15.700 --> 00:46:18.180 No, that's not an 00:46:18.180 --> 00:46:21.390 option right now, but I can tell you, an option that is 00:46:21.390 --> 00:46:25.660 really interesting which we think is going to have a big impact on 00:46:25.680 --> 00:46:31.770 environmental studies for various ocean industries, is that now with ocean reports, 00:46:31.770 --> 00:46:36.570 because we can turn on and look at various ocean industries that exist 00:46:36.570 --> 00:46:41.280 within this ocean space, there's more information in one place that's ever 00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:47.310 been built before that can lead us to environmental impact statements and 00:46:47.310 --> 00:46:51.390 environmental assessments that have been done for other industries. And so for 00:46:51.390 --> 00:46:57.690 example, if you were interested in some kind of ocean industry question here 00:46:57.690 --> 00:47:03.750 within this area of the Florida keys, you can go into the industries tab and turn on, 00:47:03.750 --> 00:47:09.300 for example, something that is- that may be happening within that area. So we'll 00:47:09.300 --> 00:47:15.630 go here, we'll turn on submarine cables, and here you can see that there are some, 00:47:15.630 --> 00:47:21.330 there are some cables within within that ocean neighborhood. Well, that means I can 00:47:21.330 --> 00:47:26.430 go and pull the environmental assessment that was for the permit to lay those 00:47:26.430 --> 00:47:30.420 cables. And within that environmental assessment, it's going to be information 00:47:30.420 --> 00:47:35.680 about biogeographical distribution and abundance of species, is going to be 00:47:35.680 --> 00:47:40.820 information about general oceanography and ocean space there'll be a 00:47:40.830 --> 00:47:44.730 whole lot of scripted information in those final assessments for all the ocean 00:47:44.730 --> 00:47:49.530 commerce industries that exist within the ocean neighborhood. So while we don't 00:47:49.530 --> 00:47:55.530 have thorough access to a database of specific research projects, we do have 00:47:55.530 --> 00:48:03.330 access to, now ready access to, leads to environmental data and analysis that have 00:48:03.330 --> 00:48:08.010 been done for all the ocean non-permits that have been within have done within 00:48:08.010 --> 00:48:13.080 that ocean neighborhood, or at least the ones that that we have mapped. 00:48:13.080 --> 00:48:14.340 Great, and 00:48:14.340 --> 00:48:18.990 I think this leads into another question coming from Emily, who's a PhD student at 00:48:18.990 --> 00:48:23.490 the University of Georgia, and that is "do other federal agencies also have 00:48:23.490 --> 00:48:28.440 web-based spatial assessments that cover marine environments, and if so are you 00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:32.610 discussing any collaborations with them on making that data available to the 00:48:32.610 --> 00:48:34.160 public?" 00:48:34.160 --> 00:48:40.640 So, we of course part with two other departments within the federal 00:48:40.650 --> 00:48:46.230 government. We partnered with the Department of Energy and we partnered 00:48:46.230 --> 00:48:50.280 with the part of Interior, and the federal agencies within those 00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:56.840 departments to build this to build this application. So we have a high level of 00:48:56.840 --> 00:49:02.670 collaboration within the federal government to build this. Of course, there 00:49:02.670 --> 00:49:10.200 are marine spatial planning...there is marine spatial sciences happening within 00:49:10.200 --> 00:49:14.510 other federal agencies other than NOAA. A high amount is happening within the 00:49:14.510 --> 00:49:19.230 Department of Interior, within the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, to manage our 00:49:19.230 --> 00:49:25.110 nation's energy resources. And you know, there is a whole lot of marine spatial planning 00:49:25.110 --> 00:49:28.470 that happens there. We have marine spatial planning happening within 00:49:28.470 --> 00:49:35.820 Department of Energy as well. So NOAA works to sort of house a lot of this marine 00:49:35.820 --> 00:49:39.690 spatial data. Some of us collect within NOAA, some of it's played with outside of 00:49:39.690 --> 00:49:47.940 NOAA. And this is, as you can imagine, a tremendous resource now for all for the 00:49:47.940 --> 00:49:54.390 entire American public, to be able to go in to access this immense data resources 00:49:54.390 --> 00:50:03.460 and to receive an analysis of that data in an automated way. 00:50:03.460 --> 00:50:06.030 Great, and we have 00:50:06.030 --> 00:50:11.190 another question coming in from Randy and he's interested in learning how you 00:50:11.190 --> 00:50:16.920 update the data sets when referring to new aquaculture leases or new management 00:50:16.920 --> 00:50:23.160 zones, how will those be how those data sets change sure? So I'm sure that 00:50:23.160 --> 00:50:27.060 question is from a friend of mine named Randy Lovell, and he's probably trying to 00:50:27.060 --> 00:50:31.580 stump the chump with that question, and I'm and I'm glad...I'm glad he asked it. 00:50:31.580 --> 00:50:40.320 The data in here, in ocean reports, is provided through marine cadastre, this 00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:46.560 national clearinghouse of marine spatial data, if you will, and when the data are 00:50:46.560 --> 00:50:50.970 updated in marine cadastre (which there's literally tens of thousands of data sets 00:50:50.970 --> 00:50:55.800 within marine cadastre.) When the data is updated there, it updates in ocean 00:50:55.800 --> 00:51:02.130 reports. Now each specific data layer has its own refresh schedule, 00:51:02.130 --> 00:51:08.400 and so depending on the data layer, some data may need to be updated on a monthly 00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:12.660 basis, some on an annual basis, some every five or ten years depending on the type 00:51:12.660 --> 00:51:21.690 of data. And specifically aquaculture data that is in here was updated about...I 00:51:21.690 --> 00:51:25.950 think about a year ago. And what we did was, in our probe, was we 00:51:25.950 --> 00:51:31.259 specialized in coastal aquaculture spatial science, we actually build this 00:51:31.259 --> 00:51:37.589 data layer by working with the coastal states to collect spatial information 00:51:37.589 --> 00:51:43.489 about aqua facilities, and we created a national layer, data layer, to do that. And 00:51:43.489 --> 00:51:50.430 we we plan to update that that data layer annually, on an annual basis. So 00:51:50.430 --> 00:51:55.109 Randy if you have gone and built an aqua facility in the last 12 months there off 00:51:55.109 --> 00:51:59.130 the coast of California, we probably don't have that facility in those 00:51:59.130 --> 00:52:03.560 reports yet, though we hope to soon. 00:52:04.180 --> 00:52:07.940 Great, thank you James, and I have a question 00:52:07.940 --> 00:52:13.580 that I'm in a reword a little bit, but it's relevant. It's "this ocean reports 00:52:13.589 --> 00:52:20.359 serves a massive source of data and information. Are you ever worried about 00:52:20.359 --> 00:52:25.200 too much information being shared? It may be piracy..." is something that was 00:52:25.200 --> 00:52:28.890 mentioned in one of the questions, "or anything like that that will happen if 00:52:28.890 --> 00:52:34.369 this is being used by the wrong people or people with the wrong intentions?" 00:52:34.369 --> 00:52:40.739 That's an excellent question. All of the data that we are analyzing in ocean 00:52:40.739 --> 00:52:49.410 reports is already publicly available data. We have had...we have had 00:52:49.410 --> 00:52:55.019 considerable discussions, about if analyzing that data and providing it in 00:52:55.019 --> 00:53:05.670 such a such a condensed and formatted an easily accessible way, does it increase 00:53:05.670 --> 00:53:15.280 potentially the risk of issues arising from misuse of that data? 00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:18.820 And that's a conversation that that we're continuing with 00:53:18.820 --> 00:53:24.690 the Department of Defense, as we're analyzing sort of the the risk of that. 00:53:24.690 --> 00:53:32.920 We hope that what we have built has a lot more positive benefits than negative 00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:38.830 benefits, of course, and I think that's a very insightful question and one that I 00:53:38.830 --> 00:53:43.630 very much appreciate, and I would say the baseline answer to that is that we're 00:53:43.630 --> 00:53:48.490 still working on that question and we hope to evolve with that this tool is 00:53:48.490 --> 00:53:54.130 highly capable of evolving in two different directions, and you know, I'm 00:53:54.130 --> 00:53:58.030 sure that there will be additional considerations about homeland security, 00:53:58.030 --> 00:54:04.210 and concerns, you know, as we as I move forward. But we consider that challenge and 00:54:04.210 --> 00:54:09.010 that question with every addition of new data, "does this pose a potential 00:54:09.010 --> 00:54:13.300 national security threat?" We interact with our DoD colleagues to kind of 00:54:13.300 --> 00:54:19.000 assess that. We look at how that data was already made accessible in the past, and 00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:23.170 how that might change the potential use of that data when now it's in ocean 00:54:23.170 --> 00:54:28.510 reports, and you know it's a continuing it's a continuing problem, and something that we'll 00:54:28.510 --> 00:54:31.452 have to have to work on forever. 00:54:31.452 --> 00:54:35.680 Great, well thank you for powering through lots 00:54:35.680 --> 00:54:39.610 of questions, there are more that we still haven't addressed, but we are 00:54:39.610 --> 00:54:43.570 running out of time, so any of the questions that haven't been asked 00:54:43.570 --> 00:54:47.170 through me we're gonna send out to James and see if we can get you an answer and 00:54:47.170 --> 00:54:55.090 send those out in an email. I'm going to hand it back over to Claire to share the 00:54:55.090 --> 00:54:58.360 rest of the presentation. 00:54:58.360 --> 00:55:01.570 Thank you James. All right, yes, thank you so much Dr. 00:55:01.570 --> 00:55:05.290 Morris for a really engaging presentation. Anytime you can do those 00:55:05.290 --> 00:55:10.240 live demos I think it's it's pretty cool, and we'll get those questions answered 00:55:10.240 --> 00:55:15.430 in the next week or so, so thank you everyone for attending today's special 00:55:15.430 --> 00:55:21.100 presentation on ocean reports. And we welcome any feedback that you have. If 00:55:21.100 --> 00:55:24.940 you also have further questions, you can certainly send in to this email 00:55:24.940 --> 00:55:30.230 listed here, Sanctuary.Education@noaa.gov, or if you have accolades you want to 00:55:30.230 --> 00:55:34.250 share with Dr. Morris and the ocean reports team, you can send it there as 00:55:34.250 --> 00:55:40.849 well and we'll get it to him. We do provide webinar archive, it's on 00:55:40.849 --> 00:55:45.049 the link there and it's also been put into your control panel, so you have a 00:55:45.049 --> 00:55:48.529 direct link that you can bookmark. For all of you that have attended, you will 00:55:48.529 --> 00:55:52.490 also be notified via email when the webinar archive is available so you 00:55:52.490 --> 00:55:57.619 don't even necessarily have to worry about that URL. And for those that 00:55:57.619 --> 00:56:02.960 registered, we'll be sending out that archive as well. And based on previous 00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:08.180 feedback from attendees like yourselves, a few years ago after a couple of 00:56:08.180 --> 00:56:13.250 webinars, we decided to take the feedback into account and create the certificate 00:56:13.250 --> 00:56:19.369 of attendance. So this is just an example of one from last September, but you will 00:56:19.369 --> 00:56:24.859 be getting one tomorrow for one hour of professional development for your 00:56:24.859 --> 00:56:30.470 continuing education or participating in today's webinar. I do also want to share 00:56:30.470 --> 00:56:36.230 that it's really important for us to do evaluation of our education programs and 00:56:36.230 --> 00:56:40.339 so, when we wrap up in just another couple minutes here and you close out of 00:56:40.339 --> 00:56:46.539 the GoToWebinar, there will be a three minute evaluation for you to complete. 00:56:46.539 --> 00:56:52.220 We highly encourage you to answer those questions. If you're sitting in a room 00:56:52.220 --> 00:56:56.900 with more than yourself, for example, if you're at a high school or you're at a 00:56:56.900 --> 00:57:01.369 university and you've got an auditorium full of people, we like to record how 00:57:01.369 --> 00:57:04.880 many people are actually participating in the live webinar beyond those that 00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:09.740 are just direct registrants and attendees. So please before you sign off, 00:57:09.740 --> 00:57:16.730 go ahead and take three minutes or less to do that brief evaluation. Our 00:57:16.730 --> 00:57:21.259 next webinar currently on the schedule is in December. We are looking to 00:57:21.259 --> 00:57:25.789 schedule one in November, so if any of you attendees happen to have something 00:57:25.789 --> 00:57:29.960 related to national marine sanctuaries that you think would be of utmost 00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:34.460 interest to present to our audience here in the webinar series, 00:57:34.460 --> 00:57:39.740 we'd more than appreciate hearing from you. This one is going to be focused 00:57:39.740 --> 00:57:44.450 our Sweetwater sanctuary and Lake Huron our Thunder Bay National Marine 00:57:44.450 --> 00:57:51.710 Sanctuary. A professor Biddanda, if I said that correctly, will be teaching us 00:57:51.710 --> 00:57:57.349 about a decade of exploration of life in Lake Huron's sinkholes and how these 00:57:57.349 --> 00:58:01.640 findings have relevance to Earth's current biologic and physiologic 00:58:01.640 --> 00:58:06.980 diversity. So with that, I want to thank everyone for your participation today. 00:58:06.980 --> 00:58:11.599 Dr. Morris, again, a great, engaging participation that had a high level of 00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:18.080 interest with over 24 countries that participated and if you have any 00:58:18.080 --> 00:58:23.720 additional ideas as a formal or informal educator or other interested party, if you 00:58:23.720 --> 00:58:28.490 have ideas of ways that the ocean reports can be used in a classroom or a 00:58:28.490 --> 00:58:32.520 science center or your facility, go ahead and send us an email at the 00:58:32.520 --> 00:58:40.540 Sanctuary.Education@noaa.gov, and we'd love to think about these ideas, and there may even be 00:58:40.550 --> 00:58:44.570 some potential funding to have complimentary educational materials for 00:58:44.570 --> 00:58:50.089 the ocean reports. So with that, again, when we close out in just a second, 00:58:50.089 --> 00:58:53.690 I encourage you to complete the evaluation. It's extremely helpful to 00:58:53.690 --> 00:58:58.940 NOAA and provides us the venue to do these types of webinars. So with that, 00:58:58.940 --> 00:59:02.810 thank you Dr. Morris, thank you Hannah, and everyone participating have a good 00:59:02.810 --> 00:59:07.450 evening. This concludes the webinar now.
