Video Rewind: AIS Vessel Traffic Data Webinar

Our Dec. 11 webinar covered the Portal’s Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel traffic maps. Portal Team member Karl Vilacoba walked users through the maps in Marine Planner and offered a peak at a new tool that will enable users to animate and toggle through monthly vessel traffic maps. Co-host Doug Simpson, recreational boating safety specialist for the Coast Guard’s 5th District Waterways Management Branch, then shared his insights on what the maps show and how they can influence decision-making.
