Hydrographic Services Review Panel

The Hydrographic Services Review Panel is a group that provides advice and recommendations to the U.S. government on how best to support and improve hydrographic services. These services involve mapping and charting the oceans, rivers, and coastal waters to ensure safe navigation, support maritime commerce, and protect the environment. The panel includes experts from industry, government, and academia who review programs, budgets, and policies, helping to ensure that the hydrographic data is accurate, timely, and useful for all users. Their work helps keep waterways safe and efficient for transportation and navigation.
