Tim Osborn NOAA Office of Coast Survey Gulf of Mexico Marine Debris Mapping Project Presented to Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence: Central Gulf of Mexico Teacher Scientist Institute 2008

August 2007 Submerged marine debris Hazard to navigation Threat to fishing grounds 2005 storms distributed huge volumes This presentation describes NOAA effort to map and publicize submerged marine debris States responsible for removal

August 2007 Marine debris Not a new problem  Will never be solved  Is ongoing Requires  constant vigilance  regular maintenance

August 2007 Overview- Marine Surveying and Response Has Many Parallels to Coastal and Land Based Response The Tools of Surveying and Assessment and Removal Oversight Vary to Meet the Environment

August 2007 What is this?

August 2007 Side scan sonar (SSS) view of this while still submerged

August 2007 What is this?

August 2007 SSS view of this while still submerged

August 2007 SSS Identifies Hazards & Debris

August 2007 Single Beam Acoustic Sonar to Determine Depth

August 2007 Equipment used

August 2007 Supplemental Funding May 2007 – Congress appropriated $24M to NOAA to scan, map and remove debris in LA traditional fishing grounds (Sup 2) Allows continuation of the survey effort that began in 2005 with $20M appropriation (Sup 1)

August 2007 Prioritization of Sup 1 Survey Areas Meetings in LA, MS, AL attended by  Marine Resources  Local USCG  Fish and Wildlife  Local fisherman Decisions based on  highest debris concentration  largest gain to local fishing community, specifically shrimpers

August 2007 Louisiana Survey Areas 262 nm² nm 2 is nautical miles squared

August 2007 Mississippi Survey Areas 110 nm²

August 2007 Alabama Survey Areas 327 nm²

August 2007 Survey Areas 699 nm² total

August 2007 Utilized five companies  C&C Technologies - Mississippi  David Evans & Associates – Mobile Bay, AL & Plaquemines, LA  Fugro Pelagos – Dauphin Island, AL  SAIC – Lake Borgne, LA  Terrasond – offshore AL & Perdido Bay

August 2007 Survey Requirements First priority  locate debris  Communicate to the states to aid in the removal effort Second priority – nautical charting  SSS scans to locate submerged objects, plus vertical beam echo sounder to provide depth on navigationally significant objects  100 Dangers to Navigation (DTON) were reported as they were discovered  Sup 2 work requires enhanced SSS

August 2007 Reporting & Data Dissemination Contractors submitted weekly reports of debris findings to a NOAA maintained Sharepoint (web-based data repository) This information was disseminated to the public and removal operators via OR&R’s website

August 2007 Office of Response and Restoration ORR roles in project  Maintain MDP database & website  Interact with local stakeholders on a regular basis  Ensure data are getting to the proper authorities to aid in the removal effort

August 2007 Survey maps and data, updated every 2-3 weeks Link to interactive Internet Mapping Server (Arc IMS) FEMA debris removal maps and tables, updated weekly Links to internal /external project partners Outreach products, media information, related publications, photos, and videos The Project Website

August 2007 Outreach Products Poster Brochure

August 2007 In Progress…. Goal: Increase efficiency of post-incident response to marine debris Figure depicting debris density. Derived from actual survey data; 2006 / 2007 Marine Debris Density Model

August 2007 Removal Effort Each state is funding and overseeing its own removal efforts with assistance from FEMA and USCG and data from NOAA surveys

August 2007 Proposed Survey Areas Priority 1 Areas Shown in Red Priority 2 Areas Shown in Blue

August 2007 Present and Future Goals Develop and Implement a Standardized Approach to Surveying and Mapping Marine Debris to Reduce Risk and Support Removal Work with Multiple Responders and State and Federal Trust Managers in Addition to the Fishing and Navigation and Port Communities
