Organization: Price List
Many federal, state and local agencies require benthic habitat maps to meet resource management needs. Where possible NOAA takes these other agencies needs into account when planning mapping activities and can provide the resulting data to its partner agencies for little additional cost. However, there are times that non-NOAA organizations desire mapping in areas that are not a priority to NOAA. In order to facilitate requests for such work, PIBHMC has established a mechanism that allows other organizations to contract for mapping services. These services can be provided for the following rates; contact us for more details.
