Lighthouse Consulting Group, Inc. is partnering with the Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) to update its Recreational Boating Data Portal, a vital platform that displays economic and spatial data on recreational boating in the Northeast. Our goal is
to enhance the portal’s functionality by integrating current data on boating participation, economic impact, and activity distribution, ensuring it better serves national and regional industry stakeholders.
Lighthouse’s approach is rooted in collaboration. For this project, we will first assemble a project team from NROC to oversee the process, meeting regularly to adjust timelines and tasks as needed. We will then conduct a comprehensive review of the existing portal’s data and products to identify areas for improvement, working closely with stakeholders from national boating organizations, regional marinas, and industry associations through a series of national and regional workshops.
These workshops will gather valuable input to inform a concept paper, which will outline a detailed plan for updating the portal. This paper will also propose key collaborators and funding sources needed for implementation. A virtual proof-of-concept workshop will allow us to present and refine the plan with additional stakeholder feedback. The final result will be a robust, user friendly portal that accurately reflects the current state of recreational boating across the Northeast, providing stakeholders with valuable insights to drive future growth and decision-making.
