NOAA's Digital Coast

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

The Digital Coast (authorized by the Digital Coast Act, 16 U.S.C. § 1467) was developed to meet the unique needs of the coastal management community. The website provides not only coastal data, but also the tools, training, and information needed to make these data truly useful. Content comes from many sources, all of which are vetted by NOAA. Data sets range from economic data to satellite imagery. The site contains visualization tools, predictive tools, and tools that make data easier to find and use. Training courses are available online or can be brought to the user’s location. Information is also organized by focus area or topic.
