NOAA Introduces an Enhanced Wrecks and Obstructions Database
For our cruising friends who are divers, this new database will greatly assist in choosing dive locations. For the full report, see http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/hsd/wrecks_and_obstructions.html
The Office of Coast Survey’s Wrecks and Obstructions database contains information on the identified submerged wrecks and obstructions within the U.S. maritime boundaries. The data includes the position of each feature (latitude and longitude) along with a brief description. Information to populate the database comes from what is currently available on the electronic navigational chart (ENC) and Coast Survey’s Automated Wrecks and Obstructions Information System (AWOIS) database.
