USPS Co-Op Charting    NOAA Charting & Navigation    NOAA Tide Tables
 
 

Through this on-water and on-land service activity, the Ocean City Power Squadron  assists the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to produce accurate and up-to-date nautical and  aeronautical charts of the local area. 

Our members gather up-to-date information  (such as water depths, changes in navigational aids and on the water visible landmarks) which is forwarded to NOAA for processing and chart revision.
