Partners
The Gulf of Mexico Data Atlas is truly a collaborative effort. In January 2011, a Gulf Data Atlas Workshop was held at Grand Bay National Estuarine Reserve to assess user needs and requirements related to the development of a pilot digital data atlas for the Gulf of Mexico. A Gulf of Mexico Data Atlas Prototype Executive Steering Committee was established to provide guidance on the first maps to be released. The Gulf of Mexico Data Atlas has data from federal, state, non-governmental agencies, and academia.
How to Become a Partner
The Gulf of Mexico Data Atlas will expand with new data to improve the spatial and temporal understanding of the Gulf of Mexico. Expanding partnerships among data providers via a collaborative network is a vital component of the Gulf of Mexico Data Atlas. If you are a collector/provider of Gulf of Mexico data observations and would like to become an active partner or contribute data, please contact NCEI.info@noaa.gov. Guidance is available that clarifies the requirements necessary to submit data in support of a new or existing plate.
