The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is pleased to announce a partnership with the City of Valdez for a hydrographic surveying project in Port Valdez. This project was selected for the Brennan Matching Fund from last year’s round of applicants and is slated to occur in 2025. The project will provide high resolution bathymetry and backscatter data over approximately 32.5 square nautical miles, and supply a contemporary baseline to help city emergency managers understand and prepare for potential impacts of submarine landslides.
