NOAA Digital Coast

NOAA Digital Coast NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management helps maximize the nation’s coastal management efforts by providing science-based resources and services.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office for Coastal Management is the unifying force behind the nation’s coastal management efforts. This office oversees many initiatives and works with partners from all sectors to accomplish coastal management goals. The coastal management office was established in 2014 when NOAA combined two offices: the Coastal Services Center and the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management.

When plans don’t match up with reality in the field, it’s time to get more data.

Watershed managers in Pinellas County, Florida, did just that. They used land cover data from the Digital Coast to get a better look at the impervious surfaces and update their watershed management plan. Now, the county is better equipped to protect and improve communities’ water quality and reduce flood risks while remaining cost-efficient.
