The Office of Coast Survey's Wrecks and Obstructions database contains information on the identified submerged wrecks and obstructions within the U.S. maritime boundaries. The data includes the position of each feature (latitude and longitude) along with a brief description. Information to populate the database comes from what is currently available on the electronic navigational chart (ENC) and Coast Survey's Automated Wrecks and Obstructions Information System (AWOIS) database.
The Office of Coast Survey is responsible for charting the Nation's waterways to ensure safe marine transportation and navigation. Hydrographic surveying is a critical component of this process. The AWOIS and charted (Electronic Navigational Charts - ENCs) wrecks and obstructions have been identified over the course of OCS' history and cataloged in a database for use in survey planning and also for inclusion on the nautical chart suite. The database and associated mapping services are provided to the public as a related service for general usage.

The data layers in this data set consist of: Automated Wrecks and Obstructions Information System (AWOIS) wreck features and navigational obstruction features, as well as Electronic Naviational Charts (ENC) wreck features. The attribution across each feature type has been standardized to be consistent. Not all attribution will be present for each feature in each layer, due to the differing sources that have been used to populate the database.
