Extended Continental Shelf Project 2010 Noaa Office Of Ocean

Extended Continental Shelf Project 2010 Noaa Office Of Ocean The 2010 extended continental shelf survey was a 5 week long expedition involving two icebreakers: u.s. coast guard cutter (uscgc) healy (at sea august 2 to september 6) and the canadian coast guard ship (ccgs) louis s. st laurent (at sea august 4 to september 14). the coast guard cutter healy (wagb 20) is united states' newest and most. Noaa’s office of ocean exploration and research is a critical partner in the u.s. extended continental shelf (ecs) project. the project is a multi agency effort focused on helping the united states identify the extent of continental shelf seabed and sub seafloor over which it can exercise sovereign rights beyond the nation’s 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone, consistent with the.

Extended Continental Shelf Project 2010 Noaa Office Of Ocean The mission of the u.s. ecs project is to delineate the outer limits of the u.s. continental shelf, consistent with international law. the u.s. ecs project signifies the largest and potentially most significant interagency marine mapping survey ever undertaken by the united states. summary. The united states released the geographic coordinates defining the outer limits of the continental shelf of the united states in areas beyond 200 nautical miles from the coast. the portion of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from the coast is known as the “extended continental shelf,” or ecs. for more information, including. The mission of the u.s. extended continental shelf (ecs) project is to establish the full extent of the u.s. continental shelf, consistent with international law. data collected for the project include bathymetric, subbottom, gravity, magnetic, seismic, and geologic sample data from the u.s. coastal waters to the deep ocean. Noaa ship okeanos explorer maximizing operations (ex1006) october 2010: systematic exploration aboard the noaa ship okeanos explorer has been an evolving operational model referred to as a “sticks and boxes” approach. the variety of data being collected onboard the okeanos during this cruise from hawaii to california represented a step.

Constraint 1 (shown in red) limits the ecs to 350 nautical miles (nmi) from the baseline (i.e., low water line along the coast). constraint 2 (shown in green) states that the ecs shall not exceed 100 nmi from the 2,500 m water depth line on the continental shelf (i.e., the isobath). The continental shelf is the extension of a country’s land territory under the sea. the continental shelf holds many resources (e.g., corals, crabs) and vital habitats for marine life. the portion of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from the coast is known as the “extended continental shelf,” or ecs.
