The National Marine Educators Association has partnered with NOAA this year to offer all NMEA 2015 conference attendees an educational session on how free NOAA data can add functionality to navigation systems and maritime apps.

Session topics include nautical charts, tides and currents, seafloor data, buoy networking and weather, among others.

At NMEA, formal and informal marine educators from across the U.S. and around the world will come together to help promote the mission of "making known the world of water, both fresh and salt.”

The conference runs from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 at the Sheraton Inner Harbor Baltimore in Baltimore, Md.

The NOAA sessions will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 29 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and on Thursday, Oct. 1 from 8 to 9:15 a.m.
