Abstract:
These data represent the boundaries of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) eleven regional
associations (RAs). There are thousands of ocean observing tools in use every day-satellites in orbit,
gliders, buoys, high-frequency radar, sharks with satellite tags, sensors on the ocean floor, and more
operated by different organizations and researchers. IOOS, a national-regional partnership, gathers and
integrates many of those data streams and makes those observations compatible and accessible by science,
industry, government, and citizens.
RAs design regional coastal observing systems to meet the unique needs of the regional environment and
stakeholders. The eleven IOOS RAs maintain and operate regional coastal observing systems and develop
information products for their users. The RAs provide increased observations, distinctive knowledge, and
critical technological abilities, and apply these towards the development of products to meet regional and
local needs
Purpose:
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the
Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the National
Environmental Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, the Coastal Zone Management Act, and the Integrated
Coastal and Ocean Observation System Act of 2009.

Evaluation method description:
1) Due to a lack of adequate shoreline data, omissions occur in several locations, notably in the northern
reaches of Chesapeake Bay and several other embayment's on the east coast.
2) When present the NOAA CUSP data was used as the primary source for the U.S. land-water margin. Other
sources such as the NOAA ENC were used to patch gaps in the CUSP.
3) Generally, shorelines are truncated at the first or second major obstruction (bridge, dam, waterfall)
going from offshore to onshore.
4) Coastal ponds, lagoons and other water bodies not directly connected to the coastal ocean are not
present.
5) The upland termination point for the offshore lateral boundaries were adjusted to be coincident with
well established aids to navigation when they were present and appeared to be the intended boundary
marker.
