HYBRID EVENT - The Florida Coastal Mapping Program is hosting their annual FCMaP Summit to keep the momentum going on our discussions for mapping Florida’s coastal waters with modern, high-resolution technology. The purpose of the summit is to bring together stakeholders, in person and virtually, to discuss recent mapping activities and future plans and strategies to achieve a mapped Florida.

Who should attend?

Local and state coastal managers, planners, and decision-makers; state and federal agencies interested in the Florida coastal mapping realm; academics; and private industry.

FCMaP is a Federal-State partnership with the goal of coordinating the collection of modern, high-resolution data for all of Florida's coastal waters, from the shore to the shelf break, in the next decade. The primary target for the mapping effort is elevation information of the open-ocean coast (bathymetry and coastal topography) that supports numerous applications including infrastructure, navigation, benthic habitat mapping, restoration projects, resource management, emergency response, and coastal resiliency and hazards.
