Cooperative Charting

A major service of USPS and its members is Cooperative Charting; the contribution of correction data for nautical and aeronautical charts, reports on marine facilities and the condition and status of geodetic survey markers (bench marks) to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Ocean Service (NOS).

Members without boats can contribute to the program by reporting on the geodetic survey markers positioned in locations all over local areas. The marks are used in surveying and map making.

 Members with or without boats can be involved by submitting facility reports on marinas. Small craft charts contain data about marina facilities, which change often and are in constant need of regular updating.

 There is a real competition among squadrons and districts to see who has the highest number of reports and involved members. Recognition of achievement in Cooperative Charting is given at District and National meetings. For more information our Cooperative Charting Chairman.
