NOAA's Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) produces national standardized land cover and land change information for the coastal regions of the U.S. C-CAP products inventory coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands with the goal of monitoring changes in these habitats every five years. NOAA plans to contract out for the development of land cover change data based on 2015 and 2016 Landsat satellite imagery (30 meter resolution). It is anticipated that contract awards will be made between March of 2016 and August of 2019, and that at least 1/5th of the Contiguous United States will be awarded each fiscal year, or until a full update has been complete.

This dataset represents US counties and independent cities which have at least one coastal border and select non-coastal counties and independent cities based on proximity to estuaries and other coastal counties.

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for terrestrial and wetland plants and sensitive plant communities in Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. Vector polygons in this data set represent rare and endangered plant and plant community distributions. Species specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the BENTHIC data layer, part of the larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania ESI database, for additional habitat information.

This data set contains vector lines and polygons representing coastal hydrography used in the creation of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) for Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. The HYDRO data layer contains all annotation used in producing the atlas. The annotation features are categorized into three subclasses in order to simplify the mapping and quality control procedures: GEOG for geographic features, SOC for socioeconomic features, and HYDRO for water features. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the ESIL (ESI shoreline lines) and ESIP (ESI shoreline polygons) data layers, part of the larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania ESI database, for additional ESI information.

This data set contains vector polygon data for US Coast Guard, FEMA, Army Corps of Engineers, and county jurisdictional boundaries; vector line data for state waters; and vector point data for Coast Guard facilities in Southwest Florida. Location specific type and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Southwest Peninsular Florida. The entirety of the ESI Human-Use data layers consists of: PARKS-MANAGED AREAS Polygons; NAVIGATION-MARINE Points; POLITICAL-JURISDICTIONAL Polygons, Lines, Points; RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points; SOCECON Polygons, Lines, Points; and NATURAL HAZARD Polygons.

The ESIP data set contains vector polygons representing the shoreline and coastal habitats of Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania classified according to the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) classification system. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the ESIL (ESI shoreline lines) and HYDRO (Hydrography lines and polygons) data layers, part of the larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania ESI database, for additional shoreline information.

The Sandy Emergency Supplemental appropriations contained funds for federal and state agencies that will go to ocean and coastal mapping data acquisition. These data are needed for a variety of reasons - marine debris identification and removal, beach renourishment, engineering and repair decisions, habitat change assessments, nautical chart updates, inundation modeling, strengthening for future storms and coastal resilience... The list goes on, but the common thread is the need for OCM data to support decision-making. As the Integrated Working Group on Ocean and Coastal Mapping, NOAA and its collaborating federal mapping agencies are collecting information on requirements and plans of Federal and state agencies for areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy. The goal is to ensure that the emergency supplemental funding is used to "map once, use many times." The kinds of activities we'd like to include in this Sea Sketch project are requirements AND plans in the Sandy-impacted region for: hydrographic surveys (side scan/single/multibeam); topographic, bathymetric, and topobathy lidar; digital imagery; hyperspectral, etc.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of Port of Cleveland, OH . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.
