Speaker: Ryan Wartick, Navigation Manager, Mid-Atlantic, NOAA Office of Coast Survey
Are you aware that NOAA’s raster nautical charts are expected to be phased out by January 2025? Whether you are a regular user of NOAA paper charts or depend on your electronic chart plotter, you should be aware of important changes underway at NOAA regarding how they produce and distribute navigation information. Ryan Wartick, a veteran of Navy and NOAA Corps Sea Service, will present the transition from paper to electronic navigation charts (ENCs), including how underlying hydrographic data is supplied to current chart plotters and how that data will continue to be the basis for alternate sources of paper charts.
