SAFMC Habitat and Ecosystem IMS Habitat and Environmental Protection Advisory Panel Meeting Charleston, SC November 18, 2008
Project Overview Phase 1 develop and host an Internet Map Server (IMS) application to provide access to related GIS data Phase 2 develop a Habitat and Ecosystem Homepage to distribute information concerning the Council s move to Ecosystem-Based Management Phase 3 transition homepage to a Portal application to facilitate development of a Fishery Ecosystem Plan Phase 4 EcoSpecies, EcoResearch, EcoFish (SeaGEOFish transfer) Phase 5 Expand EcoSpecies and EcoResearch projects, transition to ArcGIS Server application.
Phase 1 Develop and host an Internet Map Server (IMS) application to provide access to regional GIS data Create and compile GIS data layers relevant to the site Integrate digital documents (management plans, regulations, etc), video, and stills
GIS Data Layers Base Map Layers Bathymetry, National Data Buoys, Marine Facilities, ATONS, Land Cover Management and Regulatory special management zones, proposed marine protected areas, state waters, EEZ, sea turtle sanctuary, crab spawning sanctuary Marine Sanctuaries data for Gray s Reef and Florida Keys Coral Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPCs) Oculina studies: Cleila and ROV dive tracks, multimbeam survey, proposed deep water lophelia HAPCs General Habitats artificial reefs, fish nursery areas, seagrass, mangroves, salt marsh, tidal flats
Data Collaborators NOAA Coastal Services Center North Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Division of Marine Fisheries Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary South Carolina Department of Natural Resources University of North Carolina, Wilmington Skidaway Institute of Oceanography National Benthic Inventory The Nature Conservancy University of South Florida SEACOOS - SouthEast Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing System
IMS Page
Phase 2 Consolidate related fisheries and habitat data for the South Atlantic region in a Web enabled environment Design and develop a framework for the Comprehensive Habitat and Fishery Ecosystem Plan home page Iterative process for establishing layout and taxonomy Traditional HTML and JavaScript
Software and Hardware Web Server for ArcIMS application Web Design Software Macromedia Dreamweaver Document Conversion - High Speed Scanner
Phase 3 Transition HTML homepage to a database driven Portal application Transition HTML homepage to a database driven Portal application Provide user groups and administrators security based roles Implement file sharing and uploading
Before After
Portal Software Open Source product : DotNetNuke built on a Microsoft ASP.NET platform SQL Server backend (can also use MySQL) Modular Design easily add modules for contacts, calendar of events, discussions, forums, FAQs, links, image galleries, etc. Web-based interface for anytime, anywhere updates
Phase 4 EcoResearch EcoSpecies EcoFish Coordination with Tim Haverland (NOAA EcoGIS project Leader) to incorporate EcoGIS products into the IMS. Coordination with Ocean Exploration and University of North Carolina- Wilmington staff to integrate relevant SEADESC products in the IMS.
Phase 5 Advance the developing prototype EcoSpecies section of the Habitat and Ecosystem site. Supplement the South Atlantic EcoResearch database of relevant ecosystem research in the South Atlantic region. Transition to ArcGIS Server.
