Abstract
This tool allows users to interact with Economics: National Ocean Watch (ENOW) data, which describe six economic sectors that depend on the oceans and Great Lakes. The ENOW Explorer enables users to discover which sectors are the largest in various parts of the county, which sectors are growing and declining, and which account for the most jobs, wages, and gross domestic product. Users can view up to four counties, states, or regions to compare trends or the makeup of their ocean and Great Lakes economies. The ENOW Explorer’s simple interface also makes it easy for users to interact with and view economic data and trends. The tool provides the highest level of interaction with ENOW data short of downloading the full data set.
