Abstract
The primary goal of this project is to develop data sets and tools to facilitate coastal marine spatial planning (CMSP) for the US Pacific islands. This includes: (a) collecting data sets; (b) developing data sets and tools for data analysis and decision support. We have been coordinating and collaborating with the Pacific Islands Regional Planning Body to help in their efforts in CMSP. We have created a prototype data portal and developed several types of GIS mapping applications for visualizing and analyzing the data. Two master’s students have been involved in two different aspects of the work: LCDR Richard Ilczuk conducted research to improve the analysis and prediction of climate variations in the coastal and marine environment, and for planning operations, including DoD operations, in that environment. LCDR McDonald conducted research to improve the efficiency and efficacy of planning and permitting for operations in the coastal and marine environment, including DoD operations and civilian operations that could conflict with DoD operations.
