BOEM and NOAA announce the release of the Ocean Reporting Tool (ORT), a web-based, automated spatial analysis tool for US ocean activities. This web application allows users to draw or select a location of interest and quickly obtain over 80 unique infographics calculated on-the-fly, to determine if an ocean space is suitable for an activity. Users can select infographics of interest, explore ocean data, share results, and print reports for various permitting processes. Infographics are organized into categories including a general site profile, energy and minerals, natural resources and conservation, transportation and infrastructure, biophysical and oceanographic (including Esri EMU data), and economics and commerce. The ORT draws from the largest compilation of US ocean data to-date, encompassing a wealth of data layers which have been processed for optimal spatial and temporal resolution.
