Vision
Increased awareness of remote sensing and geospatial information broadly applied in furthering knowledge and understanding of the maritime domain and its relationship with human activities.
Mission
Promote, facilitate, and disseminate thinking and studies on marine applications of remote sensing and geospatial analysis that contribute to information confidence and decision advantage.
Definition
The maritime domain is defined to include navigable inland waters functionally contiguous to the marine environment of saline waters internal, inshore, and offshore to coastal segments, and the oceanic waters. This broad spatial definition affords comparability of islands and continents.
- Strategic Objective 1: identify ASPRS members and constituents interested in the Working Group’s Vision and Mission and willing to participate in accomplishing its objectives.
- Strategic Objective 2: develop a framework of contemporary interdisciplinary themes, topics, and issues which could benefit from coastal and marine applications of remote sensing.
- Strategic Objective 3: maintain information resources, such as online resources, training materials, bibliographies, etc., supporting Strategic Objective 2, with attention to visibility of paradigm shifts, concepts, definitive results, analytic resources, and tools.
