A Geographic Information System (GIS) with a digital process and database receives survey quality data, including but not limited to water depth information and location information, at multiple locations within an area of interest. The GIS processes that information and is operatively coupled to a user interface, namely a video screen device, to present the water depth and location information in color scale format. With entry of vessel information, including length, width, and keel depth, the system enables a user to determine whether sufficient water depth exists for the vessel to move to a desired position within an area of interest, for example a berthing area proximal a dock, or to carry out other marine operations.
