Automated Wreck and Obstruction Information System (AWOIS)
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Office of Coast Survey (OCS) Automated Wreck and Obstruction Information System (AWOIS) service and associated webpage. OCS is no longer updating the data and information contained in the AWOIS application, and has therefore retired the AWOIS service. Instead, we direct users to our ENC Direct to GIS application. ENC Direct contains information from our nautical charts and reflects the latest information available for all charted features, including wrecks and obstructions. Users may export data from ENC Direct to various spatial data types and formats.
