 "description": "The Pacific Regional Ocean Uses Atlas (PROUA) Project is an interagency collaboration between NOAA and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) designed to document where coastal communities use the ocean across a full range of typical human activities and sectors. Using participatory mapping techniques, the project offers a proven, flexible, and scalable approach that empowers coastal communities to paint an accurate picture of human use on a scale appropriate for local-, state-, or regional-level ocean planning.Spatial patterns were mapped for 32 ocean uses in Washington State, focusing on the marine areas of the Olympic Peninsula. The project included the Strait of Juan de Fuca west of Port Angeles, Gray's Harbor and Willapa Bay. Mapping workshops were conducted in Port Angeles and Aberdeen with 65 ocean experts to map the locations of all uses in the study area. Following a data cleaning and aggregating process, draft data were presented back to participants as downloadable maps, and participants were invited to a webinar to provide comments of the draft data. Data were finalized based on the comments and additional information.\n\nDominant use areas are defined as ocean areas routinely used by most users most of the time (within the seasonal patterns for that use).",
