Full Citation Examples
Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a navigation safety device that transmits and monitors the location and characteristics of many vessels in U.S. and international waters in real-time. This dataset represents the density of passenger vessel traffic in 2013 for the contiguous United States offshore waters from passenger vessels with AIS transponders in 100 meter grid cells. The dataset is best interpreted using a high to low density scale and does not represent actual vessel counts.

Abstract: |
Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a navigation safety device that transmits and monitors the location and characteristics of many vessels in U.S. and international waters in real-time. This dataset represents the density of passenger vessel traffic in 2013 for the contiguous United States offshore waters from passenger vessels with AIS transponders in 100 meter grid cells. The dataset is best interpreted using a high to low density scale and does not represent actual vessel counts. |
Purpose: |
To support coastal and ocean planning and other activities pursuant to the Energy Policy Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Rivers and Harbors Act and the Submerged Lands Act. |

Process Steps
Process Step 1
Description: |
1. Project all East Coast, West Coast, Gulf of Mexico, and Great Lakes density rasters to NAD83, as necessary. 2. Use Mosaic to Raster tool to combine each regional raster per vessel type into a national vessel type mosaic. Determine priority for areas of overlap, as applicable. 3. Use Extract by Attributes tool to remove all negative from mosaic, as applicable. 4. Project mosaic to Web Mercator. |
