1 1 Marine Spatial Planning in Washington Libby Whiting Washington Department of Natural Resources West Coast Ocean Data Network November 4, 2014

2 2 Overview Marine Spatial Planning Using the WCODP Portal Value in the Data Network DNR and Web Services

3 Background 3 According to RCW 43.372, Marine Planning Law – Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is a public process of analyzing and allocating the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities in marine environments to achieve ecological, economic, and social objectives. Coordinating decisions – NON-regulatory Multi-use Uses spatial data – often displayed as maps Proactive

4 Scope of MSP 4 INTENT: Address location of potential new marine uses. PLAN GOALS/OBJECTIVES: Protect existing uses Protect cultural uses/resources Preserve environment Integrate decision-making Provide new economic opportunities NON-REGULATORY PLAN The study area is 700 fathoms offshore and includes federal waters and estuaries.

6 Mapping Activities 6 Economic analysis of the coast DFW projects: forage fish, marine mammal overflight, geodatabase Benthic habitat data in Sanctuary Seafloor mapping prioritization Recreational use study- closes Oct. 31 Seabird and marine mammal modeling www.msp.wa.gov/explore

7 Using the WCODP Portal 7 Mapping activities in Washington’s marine waters Connecting through a consistent framework Developing an interagency network

8 Value in the Data Network 8 Mapping activities in Washington’s marine waters Connecting through a consistent framework Developing an interagency network Better baseline information for the coast Easier to connect to the framework Easier to connect to the interagency network
