GOMMI is a partnership of government and non-government organizations to map the entire Gulf's seafloor. GOMMI has released its strategic plan for review and comment.

The Geoscience for Oceans Management Program of the federal department of Natural Resources Canada will deliver the geoscience knowledge base for informed decision-making in Canada's offshore lands to ensure that natural resource development does not harm the environment and that appropriate land-use decisions are made balancing social, economic, and environmental considerations. The Canada Oceans Act and the Canada Oceans Strategy provide the legislative and strategic framework within which integrated management of Canadian ocean territory can be extended to the offshore. Underpinning the GOM program is a systematic approach to seafloor mapping to deliver geoscience knowledge for integrated ocean management.

A Canadian government program to map offshore, coastal, and aquatic lands.

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire are conducting an ecosystem assessment at Jeffreys Ledge, including seafloor mapping.

The Gulf of Maine Mapping Initiative (GOMMI) is a U.S.-Canadian partnership of government and nongovernment organizations to conduct comprehensive seafloor imaging, mapping, and biological and geological surveys. GOMMI has released its strategic plan for review and comment.
