      The coastal zone is of enormous importance to the well-being of the nation, as our lives and economy are inextricably linked to the features and activities that occur within this dynamic region. In order to understand and address the effects of natural and anthropogenic forces in the coastal zone, a holistic multidisciplinary framework is required to account for the interconnectivity of processes within the system. The foundation of this framework is accurate geospatial information?information that is depicted on maps and charts.A Geospatial Framework for the Coastal Zone National Needs identifies and suggests mechanisms for addressing national needs for spatial information in the coastal zone. It identifies high priority needs, evaluates the potential for meeting those needs based on the current level of effort, and suggests steps to increase collaboration and ensure that the nation's need for spatial information in the coastal zone is met in an efficient and timely manner.Table of ContentsFront MatterExecutive Summary1 Introduction2 Coastal Mapping Needs and Activities3 A Common Coastal Zone Reference Frame: The Seamless Coastal Mapand Consistent Shoreline4 Improving the Quantity and Quality of Coastal Reference FrameData5 Access to Coastal Geospatial Data6 Increasing Coastal Mapping and Charting Efficiency7 Conclusions and Recommendations8 ReferencesAppendix A: Agency Needs and ActivitiesAppendix B: Committee and Staff BiographiesAppendix C: Acronyms
