NOAA Coastal Services Center

NOAA CSC High-Resolution Orthoimagery
Acquired to support projects with state and local partners, these data sets have variable specifications and geographic extents.

USACE CHARTS Orthomosaics
Created from individual images collected by the Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total Survey (CHARTS) system.

USACE CHARTS Bottom Reflectance
The seafloor reflectance from multiple flightlines that are collected by the Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total Survey (CHARTS) system.

NOAA CSC Coastal Lidar
Lidar data sets contributed by many different entities and groups. The Center standardizes and distributes the data in user-specified formats, resolutions, and datums.

NOAA CSC Coastal IfSAR
A high-resolution, remotely sensed elevation data product. The coastal IfSAR holdings include public and licensed data.

NOAA NOS Estuarine Bathymetry
A digital raster compilation of the National Ocean Service's (NOS) hydrographic survey data for selected U.S. estuaries.

National Elevation Dataset (NED)
Designed to provide elevation data in a seamless form with a consistent datum, elevation unit, and projection.

USGS CLICK Lidar
Facilitates data access, user coordination, and education of USGS lidar for scientific needs.

USACE CHARTS Bathymetry and Topography
Collected by the Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total Survey (CHARTS) system as part of the National Coastal Mapping Program.

NOAA CSC Sediment Profile Imaging Data
Nearshore sediment point observations derived from the sediment profile imaging (SPI) camera system.

NOAA CSC Single-Beam Acoustic Data
Nearshore, bottom- character, point observations derived from single-beam, acoustic signal processing.

NOAA CSC Grab Sample Data
Nearshore bottom character point observations derived from physical sediment grab samples.

NOAA CSC Benthic Cover Data
Nearshore benthic habitat polygons derived from aerial optical or swath acoustic imagery.

C-CAP Regional Land Cover
A nationally standardized database of land cover and land change information developed for the coastal regions of the U.S. C-CAP products inventory coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands.

C-CAP High Resolution Land Cover
Provide data relevant for addressing site specific management decisions. These data complement regional C-CAP products.

Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database
A digital database that depicts information about the kinds and distribution of soils on the landscape.

National Wetlands Inventory (NWI)
Provides information to the public on the extent and status of the nation's wetlands.

National Vector Shorelines
Vector shoreline data from NOAA and other federal agencies.

USGS National Hydrography Dataset
A comprehensive set of digital spatial data representing the surface water of the U.S. using common features such as lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, canals, and oceans.

Georegulations
The spatial representation of coastal and ocean laws, regulations, and policies. These data sets provide a unique perspective on the institutional framework that governs the marine environment.

Marine Jurisdictions
Authoritative U.S. marine boundaries depicting the extent of the nation's sovereignty and jurisdiction over maritime areas off its coast.

Outer Continental Shelf Lease Blocks
Authoritative U.S. marine boundaries depicting the approved subdivisions of the Outer Continental Shelf within federal jurisdiction.

Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) Boundaries
Boundaries from a defined set of geographic coastal barrier units located along the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Great Lakes, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Island coasts and delineated on a set of maps enacted by Congress.

Spatial Trends in Coastal Socioeconomics
Time-series, geo-referenced demographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau for the last four decadal censuses (1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000) as well as data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), 1969 through 2000.
