Third Tuesday: Charting in the Carolinas

With hurricane season closing at the end of November, there isn’t a better time to see how NOAA handles the changes that hurricanes cause annually. Join Kyle Ward, navigation manager located in Charleston, S.C., as he discusses the history and future of nautical charting in the Carolinas. See what resources NOAA provides for recreational boaters, and hear tidbits of his time coordinating hurricane response surveys for ports affected by these fierce storms.
