The American Samoa Coastal use Participatory Mapping Project was developed through a partnership between the American Samoa Government's Department of Commerce Coastal Management Program (ASCMP), Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (DMWR), NOAA's Pacific Islands Regional Office (PIRO), NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) and NOAA's Coastal Services Center - Pacific Regeion (PSC). The project was designed to enhance ocean management by gathering geospatial data on human uses of the nearshore ocean environment in the Fagaloa region of the island of Tutuial in American Samoa. The data were collected from regional ocean experts and users through participatory GIS methods.
