Abstract
A set of guidelines to be used in rendering advice and
assistance to a nation attempting to establish a national
hydrcgraphic agency is warranted by various agencies of the
U.S. Government. This thesis addresses the many aspects
which need to be considered in setting up such an agency
including the need for accurate nautical charts; a statement
of mission, objectives and goals; organizational structure
and function; training requirements; technical assistance
available; and space, time, and cost estimates during the
span of agency development.
The organization will be able to accomplish its objectives
with a total of 23 employees divided into two organizational
units. It is shown that a survey launch with six
survey personnel is all that is necessary to achieve the
identified near-term survey mission requirements. Time
requirements will vary depending on whether survey operations
can be conducted either on a year-round or seasonal
basis—both scenarios have been identified.
