President Thomas Jefferson created the U.S. Survey of the Coast in 1807 to provide nautical charts to support safe shipping, national defense, and demarcation of maritime boundaries for the young nation. Two centuries later, The Office of Coast Survey—now an office within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS)—continues to provide navigation products and services that ensure safe and efficient maritime commerce on America’s oceans and coastal waters, and in the Great Lakes. This edition of the NOAA Nautical Charting Plan describes Coast Survey’s continuing efforts to meet the needs of mariners and other users of nautical chart data into the future. This document supersedes the 2017 National Charting Plan and the 2019 Sunsetting Traditional NOAA Paper Charts documents. It also incorporates some of the content of the Transforming the NOAA ENC document, other parts of which will be compiled into a new NOAA ENC Design Handbook.
