"The Caribbean islands heavily depend on tourism," stressed Francesco Frangialli, WTO's Secretary-General, "tourism represents in some of them 30, 40 or an even greater percentage of the gross domestic product". "The natural disaster hit them at a time, when the majority of the islands were experiencing great tourism growth, after a few difficult years. We are very concerned about the people, their lives and future, which depends in large on the soundness of the region's infrastructure," Madrid, 16 September The World Tourism Organization

Beginning boaters needs to answer their two most frequent questions: “Where am I?” “How do I get to…?”

Recreational Boating Applicable to any boat, whether it is a sailing, fishing, inboard, outboard, rowboat, or canoe. Are you aware of the benefits of using nautical charts? Benefits include decreasing the possibilities of grounding and damaging your boat, reducing possible damage to the environment, and increasing boater and personal safety. In fact, Nautical Charts Protect Lives, Property and the Marine Environment. The demand for electronic charts among recreational boaters is increasing.electronic charts

Guatemala: Last surveys from 1985 Honduras, Latest chart edition from 1980 Information received at IHO visit, feb “Their coastal waters are traversed by some of the biggest passenger-carrying vessels in the world, yet a significant percentage of those waters have not been surveyed since the nineteenth centuty.” Captain Mike Barritt

While NOAA has accuracy standards for each step in the data collection and chart production process, much of the depth information found on NOAA charts is based on surveys conducted before 1940, the shoreline is more than 20 years old, and paper charts used to be compiled manually.

Needs from Tourism industry In the Caribbean modern surveys, metrication and datum shift to WGS 84 are all urgent requirements in locations which are now frequented by cruise liners. The increasing tendency of cruise liners to seek new routes, anchorages, and port calls, has high- lighted the need for more rigorous surveys of areas which were originally explored in the nineteenth century. This is a major challenge for developing hydrographic services in the Caribbean.

The new NOAA PocketChart is a special- purpose map compiled for beginning recreational boaters. It is an eye- catching, inexpensive, introductory charting product that has a miniaturized image of a NOAA nautical chart on one side; and safety, boating, and educational information on the reverse. Each PocketChart chart reverse side has a different mix of safety, boating, and educational information compiled from federal, state, and cooperating private sources. This information will increase the safety and enjoyment of a beginner’s boating experience. Examples of information that may be included on the reverse side: Selected information from the United States Coast Pilot® Table 2 tide correctors Safety information from Coast Guard publications State boating education regulations, boat licensing requirements, state rules and regulations Nautical chart design and usage information Coast Guard navigation rules National Estuarine Research Reserve information Weather information or warnings

S- 55 evaluation in significant areas of the Caribbean Sea there has been little change, and it is here that capacity building efforts must be concentrated Action is needed to implement the GMDSS in a number of areas, notably in Central America and the Caribbean In the Caribbean modern surveys, metrication and datum shift to WGS 84 are all urgent requirements in locations which are now frequented by cruise liners. The IMO has high-lighted concerns reported from the following areas:The channels around Cuba and the Dominican Republic. The advent of deeper draught shipping has increased the urgency of national programmes to review and upgrade coverage which predates the deployment of sidescan sonar and multi- beam echo sounder (MBES). The increasing tendency of cruise liners to seek new routes, anchorages, and port calls, has high-lighted the need for more rigorous survey of areas which were originally explored in the nineteenth century. This is a major challenge for developing hydrographic services in the Caribbean. Metrication programmes are underway in many areas e.g. in the UK coverage of islands in the Caribbean, but this rarely indicates the availability of significant modern surveys. The widespread use of GPS, the advent of ECDIS and the introduction of AIS, lends great urgency to efforts to identify datum transfers and to re-publish charts on WGS 84 datum is particularly important in the Caribbean. Arrangements for communicating up to date information to chart-producing HOs in a timely manner remain deficient in many countries, especially in the Caribbean and Africa. Co-ordination between different maritime agencies is poor in many developing countries, and is not helped by lack of awareness of hydrography within governments. The top priority for IHO capacity building effort must be to assist every coastal state to achieve the vital first stage of hydrographic capacity, namely, the ability to collect, collate and promulgate urgent navigational safety information in a timely manner. This work is already underway in a number of the RHC areas through the medium of expert visits and technical workshops.
