WaterwaysCreating Nautical Charts for Recreational Boaters | Stabilizing a Fluctuating Shoreline | Protecting Cultural Resources | Siting a Marine Outfall Pipeline | Identifying Channel Obstructions Creating Nautical Charts for Recreational BoatersSeveral remote sensing technologies are being used to generate nautical charts that are designed especially for recreational boaters. The prototype charts of Florida coastal waters combine traditional chart information with aerial photography and imagery to provide points of reference that are recognizable to boaters who have varying levels of navigation skills.

Stabilizing a Fluctuating ShorelineAerial photographs and digital orthophotos are being used to inventory shoreline stabilization structures on Lake Michigan. This information will be used to assess the impact of these structures on erosion in these areas. About the DataProject PartnersProtecting Cultural ResourcesA side-scan sonar system is being used in Thunder Bay to locate the hundreds of vessels that have been shipwrecked over the centuries in Lake Michigan. About the DataProject Partners
Siting a Marine Outfall PipelineAbout the DataSide-scan sonar and underwater videography were part of a thorough characterization of the benthos at a Puget Sound, Washington site. King County is considering a new wastewater treatment outfall pipeline to meet the needs of increasing urbanization. About the DataProject PartnersIdentifying Channel ObstructionsBathymetric LIDAR provided critical information about the bathymetry and elevation of East Pass, Florida after Hurricane Opal hit. The information was used to direct dredging operations that were needed for safe navigation through the narrow channel. About the DataProject Partners |
