The seafloor mapping prioritization results described in this report are already being used by NOAA to focus planned seafloor mapping missions. Furthermore, the outcomes from this regional exercise contribute into a National Mapping Prioritization under the lead of NOAA to coordinate mapping activities across the entire U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Organizations charged with mapping the seabed for navigation, commerce, and/or resource management can harvest the priorities outlined in this report to improve coordination and more efficiently allocate resources needed to conduct mapping.
