There's a lot going on in marine aquaculture in the United States! NOAA, with its partners, plays a major role in developing environmentally and economically sustainable marine aquaculture practices, technologies and industry in the U.S. Marine aquaculture creates jobs, supports working waterfronts and coastal communities, provides new international trade opportunities, and provides a domestic source of sustainable seafood to complement our wild fisheries. Use this map to check out just some of the recent developments in the domestic marine aquaculture industry in your region, and how NOAA is involved.

The Story Map Basic application is a simple map viewer with a minimalist user interface. Apart from the title bar, an optional legend, and a configurable search box the map fills the screen. Use this app to let your map speak for itself. Your users can click features on the map to get more information in pop-ups. The Story Map Basic application puts all the emphasis on your map, so it works best when your map has great cartography and tells a clear story.You can create a Basic story map by sharing a web map as an application from the map viewer. You can also click the 'Create a Web App' button on this page to create a story map with this application. Optionally, the application source code can be downloaded for further customization and hosted on your own web server.For more information about the Story Map Basic application, a step-by-step tutorial, and a gallery of examples, please see this page on the Esri Story Maps website.

About this itemStory Maps are a powerful platform that integrate spatial thinking with storytelling to present information in a compelling, interactive and easy to understand format. The University of Minnesota StoryMaps team provides support and resources for faculty looking to incorporate spatial tools such as StoryMaps, Survey 123 and other web-based GIS applications into their classrooms. The UMN StoryMaps site has examples of student projects, samples of project ideas/assignments/rubrics and user guides for students. This team’s work has received national recognition for promoting the role of spatial thinking and StoryMaps in higher education, K12 and informal learning spaces.Author/ContributorU-SpatialOrganizationUniversity of MinnesotaOrg Websitesystem.umn.edu

Using ArcGIS online, we have developed an online version of our Outdoor STEM Field Trips. Our collection of virtual maps of New York City’s water system aims to connect our water’s past with concepts and ideas to protect our water supply into the future.Features such as Story Maps allow us to guide students through a virtual tour of the historic and contemporary water infrastructure for New York City. These interactive maps invite students to ground their understanding of our water system in relation to their neighborhoods and geography.Our custom made map of the NYC water system is a springboard to promote conservation ranging from water consumption to newer green infrastructure concepts that aim to protect our waterways and shorelines.

Thematic maps about social inequalities can engage audiences, add context to policy debates, and change attitudes toward the issues. The field of communication has long compared the relative persuasiveness of this kind of abstract data versus concrete examples about individuals. While studies have compared the effectiveness of presenting both types of information alongside each other, the line between them is sometimes blurred in data visualization, which can incorporate individuals’ stories in innovative ways. One context in which incorporating examples within thematic maps may help is when discussing the social determinants of health because the complex relationship between individual and community is central to how the determinants influence health, and communication on this can be challenging. In this study, we randomly presented the UK public (N = 389) with maps incorporating varying levels of “exemplification” for three different social determinants: public transport, air pollution, and youth service provision. We tested how this affected engagement, credibility, and perceptions about the issues. Between-group analysis found few significant differences and therefore limited persuasive power. However, within-subject analysis indicated that the maps with individual-centered stories may be more persuasive but only among those less confident in their ability to interpret data visualizations. Maps of social inequalities that incorporate stories about individuals may be more engaging and persuasive to audiences less confident with statistics.In data visualization experiments, researchers should consider analyzing both differences between treatment groups and differences within subjects in their responses to different stimuli.

National Historic Trails Office Intermountain Region, Santa Fe National Historic Trail Junior Wagon Master Overview Web Map. Reviewed and Updated March of 2023.This Web Map was created for use in the Junior Wagon Master Story Map. The map is used in the Story Map to show the four sections of the Santa Fe National Historic Trail; Eastern Terminus,Cemtral, Mountain, and Western Terminus. The story map helps guide users through Junior Wagon Master program, and was created by the National Trails Office - National Park Service (NPS) in conjunction with the Santa Fe Trail Association (SFTA). The Junior Wagon Master program has two sets of activities for children of different ages; the Freighter Edition (ages 9-11) and the Bullwhacker Edition (ages 12-14). The story map guides users to different locations along the Santa Fe National Historic Trail (SAFE), and includes worksheets for kids to complete at each location. The activities can be completed using the Story Map, which includes links to the activities, or they can request a booklet from SFTA. This is made available to the public for use by families or teachers, and can be completed remotely or while visiting sites.The SAFE was used for hauling and selling trade goods, and eventually army supplies, from 1821 to 1880. Wagon trains typically departed from Boonville, Missouri, and would travel to Santa Fe, New Mexico by way of Kansas, Colorado, and western Texas. The data contained in the story map includes Web Maps with point and line data that corresponds with the alignment of the SAFE and significant points along the trail that are featured in the Junior Wagon Master program. The data covers all of the states that the SAFE; Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. The data here is based on existing points of interest for the SAFE that are already maintained in the NPS database, and the StoryMap is updated and maintained by the National Park Service National Historic Trails office.From 1821 to 1880, the Santa Fe Trail was used for hauling and selling trade goods and eventually army supplies. A few families did travel the Trail looking for a new place to live, but that was not the main purpose.

SummaryThis story map explores modern migration in the Middle East.It starts by presenting three concepts: (a) involuntary migration, (b) identity, and (c) ethnic nationalism and providing an overview of migration theory. General information is presented on the scope and patterns of involuntary migration. Some causes of involuntary migration are described (e.g., the redrawing of maps and military conflicts). Then, the story shifts to the consequences (e.g., impact of involuntary migration on psychological functioning). Finally, the compounding factor of Europe's response to refugees from the Middle East seeking asylum is described. Concepts - Involuntary Migration

This feature service is for a web map that includes stopover locations from several migrating woodcock, collected as GPS point data by the Eastern Woodcock Migration Research Cooperative. Each layer shows the total points transmitted by a single migrating bird, and layer names indicates the state where the individual was initially captured and outfitted with a transmitter. This StoryMap describes how decades of Wildlife Restoration funding helped study, monitor and manage woodcock across all parts of its range. It was developed for the USFWS Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program's "Partner with a Payer" initiative using spatial data from the Eastern Woodcock Migration Research Cooperative and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The story covers population surveys, migration tracking, habitat restoration, and other aspects of woodcock research and management conducted with Wildlife Restoration funding.

Five miles west of Osa, Washington a landslide occured after two weeks of heavy rainfall, where the hills above the rural development gave way, sending a torrent of rock, mud, and debris through the town. Forty-nine homes were destroyed and 43 lives were lost, covered in over a square mile of hillside debris. This map tells part of the story of Osa.
