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. In the U.S. the Coast Guard and industry collect AIS data, which can also be used for a variety of coastal management purposes. NOAA and BOEM have worked jointly to make available these data from the U.S. Coast Guards national network of AIS receivers. The original records were filtered to a one-minute frequency rate, and subset to depict the location and description of vessels broadcasting within the Exclusive Economic Zone.
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act.

Date that the InPort metadata record was first created.
Content was acquired from original sources. No additional testing was done to cross reference or confirm otherwise the field or geometry values from other sources.
Compiled to meet 10 meters horizontal accuracy at 95% confidence level
Records were received from all U.S. Coast Guard NAIS terrestrial receivers. Records for 4/23/2015 are missing from the archive.
