Description
This API provides access to data that describes the economic activity dependent on the oceans and Great Lakes. The data show four economic indicators (establishments, employment, wages, and GDP) for six economic sectors. Data are available for around 400 coastal counties, 30 coastal states, 8 regions, and the nation. This service can be queried for geographies and years, and a return contains all information for those parameters. For more information on the data, go to: https://coast.noaa.gov/dataregistry/search/collection/info/enow

Parameters
{GeoID}:
This parameter uses 5-digit FIPS (Federal information processing standards) codes or a dataset-specific 2-digit region code (-0 to -7). This parameter is comma delimited, and can have multiple FIPS added (ex; GeoID=-3,45000,45019). For a list of geographies, see the supporting services below.
{Year}:
This parameter accepts comma delimited 4-digit numeric values that describes the years (ex; Year=2005,2006,2007). The data are updated annually, with 2005 as the first year of data. For the most recent year of data, see the dates available here: https://coast.noaa.gov/dataregistry/search/collection/info/enow
Response Values
GeoID: 5-digit FIPS code or a 2-digit (-x) region code specific to the geography
GeoName: Full name of the geography selected (includes County, Parish, city where applicable)
Year: 4-digit numeric value of the year selected.
OceanSectorID: 1-digit numeric value (between 1-6, 9) that is unique to the OceanSector (see below)
OceanSector: Text description of the Ocean Sector the data apply to. For more information visit https://coast.noaa.gov/data/digitalcoast/pdf/enow-naics-crosswalk-table.pdf. The sectors are (corresponding OceanSect_id in parentheses): Marine Construction (1) Living Resources (2) Offshore Mineral Extraction (3) Ship and Boat Building (4) Tourism and Recreation (5) Marine Transportation (6) All Ocean Sectors (9)
Establishments: Average annual number of business establishments in an economic sector
Employment: Average annual employment in an economic sector
Wages: Total annual wages paid to the employees in a sector (dollars)
GDP: Gross Domestic Product (value of all goods and services) produced in an economic sector (dollars)
Data Notes
Any data values of "-9999" indicate that the data are suppressed (there are data, but they cannot legally be shown). Any data value of "0" is a true zero. The first year of data is 2005. For the most recent year of data, see the dates available here: https://coast.noaa.gov/dataregistry/search/collection/info/enow
