Type of change: Decommissioning of the Gulf of Mexico Marine Debris Project Website and Interactive Map
The Gulf of Mexico Marine Debris Project (GOMMDP) was launched in August 2006 in response to the coastal impacts of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The project ended in 2009. The information from this project is available in the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Archive at NCEI Accession 0176605.
The planned project website and map retirement date is March 15, 2019. To file an appeal, please contact NCEI.Info@noaa.gov by February 28, 2019. The NCEI Center for Coasts, Oceans and Geophysics at NCEI.Info@noaa.gov is also the point of contact for comments.
