About the Data
Remote sensing is the science of gathering information at a distance. The technology provides a descriptive, analytical way to identify geographic features. It is unsurpassed when it comes to getting data sets for a large area in a short amount of time. Remote sensing technologies are usually the most cost-effective means of getting information for areas that are inaccessible, far away, difficult to traverse, require a broad view, or are too large to effectively manage or assess with traditional surveying methods.
Data Types
Imagery from airborne and satellite sources are available through the Digital Coast. Aerial images and satellite images have different resolutions and can be used to address different coastal resource management issues.
