They have proved the concept can work 7/7/2015 Current position • In reality we have not moved forward in the past year • We have seen from the OECS project that in the past year data was required. I feel disappointed that the OECS could not access the data they required from the MEIP • We have also seen from the NOAA and EOMAP presentations that useful data (AIS, port coverage gaps and imagery) is available 7/7/2015 Spatial Data Infrastructure 7/7/2015 High Level layers identified • Base layers • Regional Hydrographic Commission layers • Economic layers • Legislation 7/7/2015 Sub layers Base Layers Port (Location, Importance, Lloyds List Data?) AIS Tracks (Historical and Current) RHC layers Chart Metadata RHC layers Capacity Building (training received, C-55, etc) Hydrographic Survey Metadata / CATZOC ENC (M_COVR) Metadata Regional Commission limits Economic layers Tourist Data (Cruise Ship Calls, Routes, Small Craft Routes) Met/Oc Data – hurricane prone areas Resource extraction areas Maritime Limits/Areas Legislation Limits/areas 7/7/2015 Terms of Reference 7/7/2015 Uncertainties •Which data sets are required (endless potential) •Do those layers exist? •If so, who holds them? •How will liaison with other initiatives take place? •If the aim is to achieve funding – how do we know where money is available and on what criteria? 7/7/2015 Challenges • We need to move forward • We can easily populate the database with a base layer of charted data subject to agreement • There are many datasets available that we can access now • We can encourage members states to add data for their areas • Once started I believe this will grow 7/7/2015 Biggest Challenges • Funding • Data • Vice Chairman / Working Group members 7/7/2015 7/7/2015 7/7/2015 PROPOSAL • Request that MACHC members note this report and the associated inactivity • Request that MACHC members to support a CBC bid to cover the funding of the first years running costs of the MEIP database • Request that MACHC members make every effort to include data within the MEIP • MEIP WG to investigate options to ensure sustainable funding is available to support the ongoing costs of MEIP 7/7/2015 THANK YOU QUESTIONS? 7/7/2015
