THE USPS - NOS/NOAA COOPERATIVE CHARTING PROGRAM

Cooperative Charting Program of the Tybee Light Power Squadron in conjunction with United States Power Squadron is conducted in close coordination with the Marine Chart Division, National Ocean Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Program is a major public service of USPS. Under it, members supply information to the Marine Chart Division of NOS/NOAA leading to corrections to nautical charts, small craft charts, and Coast Pilot publications. They also supply data on depth surveys, range status, and formerly, geodetic marks and aeronautical charts. The Adopt-A-Chart subprogram provides for individual squadrons to assume responsibility to keep a chart or a portion of a chart in their local boating area up to date and get recognition on new editions for their work. We have been told that the Cooperative Charting Program is recognized as the most effective user-participation program in all of the Federal services.  Additional information can be found at the following link.  http://www.usps.org/national/coch/  

 

Cooperative Charting Chairman position currently vacant.
