Summary:
ShoreZone is a coastal imaging and habitat mapping system that has been applied to most of Alaska’s coast as well as those of British Columbia, Washington State and Oregon. This dataset is publicly available. Learn how the imagery and mapping is completed, see a live demonstration of how to access the data online and view examples of numerous and varied ways the data has been utilized. Uses include: oil spill planning and response, risk management, species and habitat modeling, marine debris mapping, cultural features mapping, research study design and outreach and education. ShoreZone imagery is also being used create digital elevation models and change detection using Structure from Motion technology.
