3.0 Data Stewardship

For NOAA ISD, Field Units are responsible for the stewardship of all data and products related to the project until notification is received that the Office of Coast Survey has accepted responsibility for the stewardship of the data and/or products and that the Field Unit is no longer responsible for maintaining the raw and processed data. 

 

Stewardship of data entails safeguarding against a data breach and preserving the integrity of the data and products. 

 

Once the Field Unit has been notified that the Office of Coast Survey has accepted responsibility for the data and/or products, the Field Unit may delete the data from their storage device.
