NOAA also publishes and updates nautical charts and Notices to Mariners for all of the coastal areas of the US and all of the overseas territories. These charts include substantial amounts of international waters outside the 12 NM territorial sea limit.

That activity might could involve coordination with other international charting authorities.

Unless that information is public, and therefore internationally available... Yeah, this is definitely going to kill some people. Ironically, the majority are red states too.
