The West Coast Ocean Data Portal serves to connect data providers across the region of Washington, Oregon, and California. Information resources connected through the Portal have been curated into the OROWindMap Planning Tool, a tool to visualize information related to offshore wind planning on the Oregon outer continental shelf. The data records incorporated into the tool are documented in this catalog. The catalog hierarchy and descriptions for the catalog organizational scheme are derived from the USGS Data Categories for Marine Planning open file report, and have been utilized in the OROWindMap Tool and the Portal Catalog. Data are organized by biological resources, human use, and physical data resources.
