Federal Geographic Data Committee Marine Boundary Working Group
The working group was formed in 2001 to address a number of issues pertaining to legal and technical aspects of marine or maritime boundaries. As co-chairs of the Marine Boundary Working Group, the NOAA Coastal Services Center and the Minerals Management Service worked with other partner agencies to create the original implementation plan, elements of which later served as building blocks of the Multipurpose Marine Cadastre.
