NOAA's State of the Coast Features
Reports and Fact Sheets
Developing assessments that describe the communities, economy, and ecosystems along the coast, as well as their connections, has been a continuing effort within NOAA. NOAA’s State of the Coast reports and fact sheets complement the Web site by telling more targeted stories of the coast, such as highlighting political or ecosystem-based regions. These products are created with the intent of supporting informed coastal resource management.
