SOST serves as the lead interagency entity for Federal coordination on ocean science and technology. The IWG-OCM came into existence in 2006 to "facilitate the coordination of ocean and coastal mapping activities and avoid duplicating mapping activities across the Federal sector as well as with State, industry, academic and non-governmental mapping interests" (National Ocean and Coastal Mapping Strategic Action Plan 2009).
