This Program is a major public service of USPS.
Under it, members supply information to the Marine Chart Division of NOS/NOAA leading to corrections to nautical charts, small craft charts, and Coast Pilot publications.
They also supply data on depth surveys, range status, geodetic marks, and aeronautical charts.
The Adopt-A-Chart subprogram enables individual squadrons to adopt a chart in their location and get recognition on new editions for their work.
We have been told that the Cooperative Charting Program is recognized as the most effective user-participation program in all of the Federal services.
