Read more about GIS and Remote Sensing.
In order to manage the complex issues affecting the nation's MPAs, managers often turn to technology for help in understanding and analyzing the resources and environments of their MPAs. MPA managers and scientists are increasingly using geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing to map and analyze the resources under their jurisdiction.

During Jan-2001, our collaborative efforts guided me to a HICSS-34 global stage hosted by UH-Manoa/Oahu
where I completed my KU-MBA/MS graduate studies as multi-disciplinary "Information Science" (1971)

While completing graduate studies, I somehow became UH-Manoa's
F1RST certified ethical HACKER ...
Testing JCL (for an undergrad B-School Simulation Game Driver) disrupted the campus network!
(A) My 1965 KU B-School internship with Gulf Oil's petroleum management accounting systems
gave me valuable insights about having "built-in" Integrity Assurance (IA) protocols ...
(B) My duties at FOCCPAC-Kunia (1968-71) involved prototyping "Sea Surveillance Systems"
that "blended" sensitive current intelligence sources with current operations monitoring!
General Introduction
(C) The NDC/C322 crew's prototype applications pre-staged West Maui's http://www.PDC.org
Our on-demand "Contact Area Summary Position Estimate Reports" (CASPER) supported both
JCS Task Force 130 & USCG-RCC14 operations supporting NASA's Apollo Capsule Recovery.
(D) I declined my 1971 appointment to Naval Postgraduate School http://www.NPS.edu
CincPacFlt-JCS "censors" rejected our post-Apollo-13 (ASW-NCAPS feedback) proposal
to reduce GIGO-Mindsets with a new Reported Area Position Exception (RAPE) report.

As a USNR drilling reservist (1971-1981),
I got "Ops Research" experience evaluating Unisys NTDS Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS)
operating under "high-stress" crisis management conditions using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Working with MnDEM's Director (1993-95), we influenced the "Minnesota OnePlan" used for Red River of the North Flooding!
During that timeframe, we supported the Minnesota Industrial Security Awareness Council (MISAC). It served as a model for the Minnesota FEB/FBI InfraGard Alliance Chapter(s) since implemented on an inter-regional scale!
Today's DHS-DoD Civil Defense/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) doesn't
consistently exercise "Presponse Systems Thinking" (PST) except for
US Coast Guard (USCG) Marine Safety Offices (MSO)
plus Search AND Rescue (SAR) detachments ...
