dc.description.abstractThe goal of the Field Procedures Manual (FPM) is to provide NOAA field units with a set of standardized guidelines and best practices for conducting, processing, and generating final deliverables. This FPM has received a major revision from the one released in 2014 and will be adopting a new collaborative format before the 2021 field season to keep up with further changes. NOAA field units drive the changes to better enhance our products. Modernizations do not start with silence, and we are inviting the field units to contribute to future editions and continual development. Future FPMs will require more than periodic maintenance. To ease this change, the document will be released on a digital interactive page. This will allow users to navigate between topics with a simple click. Additionally, a digital version will allow our field units to better contribute, edit, and share methods to the data collections standards outlined in this manual. The benefits of hydrography can be seen daily in its contribution to the nation’s economy, maritime defense, marine and environmental science, tourism, and recreational activities. This list has grown since explorers started charting the coastline, and I imagine hydrography will continue to deserve greater attention than it has previously. Together, we can continue to develop the best practices to serve and contribute to national and worldwide needs.
