Summary

Coastal and Ocean Mapping Integration Act - Directs the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to establish an integrated coastal and ocean mapping program for the Great Lakes and Coastal State waters, the territorial sea, the exclusive economic zone, and the U.S. continental shelf that enhances conservation and management of marine resources, improves decision-making regarding research priorities and the siting of research and other platforms, and advances coastal and ocean science. Establishes an Interagency Committee on Coastal and Ocean Mapping to coordinate Federal ocean and coastal mapping and surveying activities with other Federal efforts, including the Digital Coast, Geospatial One-Stop, and the Federal Geographic Data Committee. Directs the Administrator of NOAA to develop, and submit to Congress, a plan for an integrated coastal and ocean mapping initiative within NOAA that: (1) identifies all coastal and ocean mapping programs within NOAA; (2) encourages the development of innovative coastal and ocean mapping technologies and applications through research and development (R&D) cooperative agreements at joint institutes; and (3) documents available and developing technologies, best practices in data processing and distribution, and leveraging opportunities with other Federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. Authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to establish joint hydrographic centers of excellence in institutions of higher education to conduct specified activities, including mapping of the U.S. outer continental shelf.
