The Northeast Ocean Data Portal is a free, publicly accessible resource that provides expert-reviewed maps and data about the ocean ecosystem, economy, and culture of the northeastern United States, from the Gulf of Maine to Long Island Sound. It was established in 2009 and is maintained by the Northeast Regional Ocean Council with contributions from government agencies, researchers, nonprofits, and other stakeholders.
The portal serves as a decision-support tool by bringing together ocean-related data from many sources to help government agencies, businesses, researchers, nonprofits, and the public make informed decisions. It includes topic pages covering marine life, habitats, and human uses of the ocean; an interactive data explorer; downloadable datasets; resources related to federal agency actions; and updates on new data and projects.
