Coastal GeoTools is the conference series that focuses on the technical information needs of the nation’s coastal programs. The 2013 conference will focus on building the Digital Coast, a Web platform that provides access to geospatial data, tools, and technical training.
Coastal GeoTools 2013 will be the eighth in the conference series. Coastal professionals from many different sectors find the networking opportunities of the conference unique and important for furthering the goals of their organizations. Anyone interested in the development and application of geospatial technology for management of coastal resources will benefit from this conference.

Want to know about the linkages between economic data and other data sets like flood zones or ocean use patterns? This session will provide some general information about economic principles, data sets, and tools available from NOAA and other agencies, and ways to apply these resources with other data to answer questions about natural resources in coastal areas. In addition, participants will get to walk through scenarios based on economic issues faced by different coastal management groups, such as fisheries management councils and port authorities, and learn some basic techniques to communicate the stories found within the data. Data sets highlighted will include Economics: National Ocean Watch, Census Nonemployer
Statistics, NOAA Fish Landings, and Freight Flows. No economic background is required for this special interest meeting. Instructors: Gabe Sataloff TBG for NOAA Coastal Services Center |

How can I demonstrate this value to my management, board of directors, or Congress? What are ways to measure the return on my program’s geospatial investment? Who else has done this that I can learn from? If these are questions you have, attend this special interest meeting to discover how federal, state, private‐sector, and nongovernmental organizations are tackling this process,and come prepared to share lessons learned.

Attendees from all skill levels are invited to participate in the first ever Digital Coast Hacka‐Mapathon. This event will focus on creating Web Maps using Web services, including those published through the Digital Coast. All you need to do is bring a laptop (or if you don’t have one, we can team you up with someone who does) and motivation to hack together a Web map. In return, you will get a certificate proving you have competed in a hackathon, and maybe even a prize. If you want to learn more about data services before hacking together a Web map, be sure to register for the introductory (but not required) Data Services Special Interest Meeting, scheduled just before the Hacka‐ Mapathon.
