and current information, including the production of nautical charts, 
nautical information databases, and other products derived from 
hydrographic data; (2) the development of nautical information systems; 
and (3) related activities.
    Broad topic areas to be discussed will focus on the use and 
application of NOAA's navigation, observations and positioning data, 
products, and services (coastal intelligence) to support: (1) The Long 
Beach--Los Angeles and California marine transportation system; (2) 
regional efforts to improve shipping efficiencies; (3) the NOAA

and tides, currents and water levels, as well as administrative matters
