Establishing an Integrated Shoreline Access Database Don Pettit Oregon Department of Environmental Quality FIT Funding Presentation April 29th, 2015, Salem, OR Proposal to Oregon Geographic Information Council (OGIC) Framework Data Development Program for the 2015 – 2017 Biennium

Background The Coastal Marine FIT was tasked with looking at the topic of Shoreline Access in late 2014 Over the course of the last 1.5 years a working group of 5 agencies has looked at the topic, this proposal has evolved from those discussions

The problem Several agencies have a business need for shoreline access locations and information Not all needs are the same, and missions, timelines and geographic footprints of interest do not necessarily align How can the state of Oregon most efficiently steward this information for all?

Working Group We have conducted 3 meetings of 5 agencies: Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development Oregon Marine Board Oregon Parks and Recreation Department Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Oregon Department of Transportation This proposal has been pulled together by DLCD, OMB and DEQ, representing the major data holders and data user communities

Agency Range of Interests

Working Group Findings Information about shoreline access is not simply a problem at the Oregon coast or within the coastal zone. Rather, there is a need statewide for this information, wherever shorelines exist. There are two primary audiences that consume shoreline access data: Recreational users of Oregon waterbodies (including the ocean), and Emergency preparedness planners and responders. These different audiences require different information about access points, and the term “access” has different implications within each community

Recreational Users There are many types of recreational access: -Pedestrian -Boat -Vehicle -Visual Recreational users are interested in locations of access as well as amenities such as parking, boat ramps, bathroom, and activities supported OCMP and OMB are the primary agencies with mandates to regularly collect information for general recreational access

Preparedness Users The preparedness and response communities require information about: levels of facility development at access locations (e.g. parking and launch facilities) information about terrain and barriers to access for different kinds of equipment Also, in a response situation, access from private locations, such as maritime industry access points, becomes an option that would not be relevant in a public recreation context. The Preparedness FIT would be a major user of standardized shoreline access information.

Approach To improve the situation relating to data collection and dissemination of information relating to shoreline access, we propose moving to a shared data set model, where multiple agencies would contribute information. This would have several benefits: For Producers: efforts would be better synchronized around access topics, and duplication of effort would be minimized For users: landscape of would be clarified as to “best source” of access information

Methods We propose to work with identified stakeholders to: Develop a shoreline access database schema that incorporates the needs of both the recreational and preparedness communities Initiate a data harmonization effort to bring the current data holdings of participating agencies into line with the agreed schema Issue a preliminary statewide harmonized data set Develop processes that utilize ArcGIS Online and the ESRI Collector app to put use of this new dataset into practice and conduct field verification of shoreline access locations and attributes
