Benthic Habitat Atlas of Coastal Texas - NOAA Digital Coast
More Information
The Benthic Habitat Atlas contains shallow-water habitat information for over 190 miles of Texas coastal bays. Users can access individual maps in an Internet viewer and download and print them as PDF documents. The maps are useful for public meetings, field activities, and planning related to dredging, prop scar management, and habitat change detection. Users can also access supplemental information on data development techniques.
C-CAP Land Cover Atlas - NOAA Digital Coast
More Information
This online data viewer provides user-friendly access to regional land cover and land cover change information developed through NOAA’s Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP). The Land Cover Atlas eliminates the need for desktop geographic information system software, or advanced technical expertise, by processing C-CAP data for the user and providing easy access to that distilled information. The tool summarizes general change trends (such as forest losses or new development) and can highlight specific changes of interest (salt marsh losses to open water, or evergreen forest losses to development, for instance).

More Information
The dynamic nature of the BP oil spill has been a challenge for a range of communities – from hotel operators to fishermen to local community leaders. We know the American people have questions about how the federal government is responding to this crisis, and we are committed to providing the answers with clarity and transparency. The site you’re viewing right now is a symbol of that commitment.
GeoPlatform.gov/gulfresponse is a new online tool that provides you with near-real time information about the response effort. Developed by NOAA with the EPA, U.S. Coast Guard, and the Department of Interior, the site offers you a “one-stop shop” for spill response information.
The site integrates the latest data the federal responders have about the oil spill’s trajectory with fishery area closures, wildlife data and place-based Gulf Coast resources — such as pinpointed locations of oiled shoreline and current positions of deployed research ships — into one customizable interactive map.

Intra-Americas Sea Ocean Nowcast / Forecast System
More Information
An experimental real-time Ocean Nowcast/Forecast System has been developed for the Intra-Americas Sea (IASNFS). The area of coverage includes the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Florida. The system produces nowcast and up to 72 hours forecast the sea level variation, 3D ocean current, temperature and salinity fields.
Includes an archive.
Legislative Atlas - NOAA Digital Coast
More Information
Organizations interested in regional ocean management and other ocean-related initiatives will appreciate the quick access to the complex set of laws that govern the nation's ocean waters provided by the Legislative Atlas. Users can select an area on a map and see the coastal and ocean laws that apply to that area. The Legislative Atlas supports the work of regional ocean councils, which are entities recommended by the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy to improve the management of the nation's coasts and oceans.
Louisiana Coastal Area Homepage
More Information
The Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) Ecosystem Restoration Plan was established to reverse the degradation trend of the Louisiana coastal ecosystem. The LCA Plan emphasizes the use of restoration strategies towards achieving and sustaining a coastal ecosystem that can support and protect the environment, economy, and culture of southern Louisiana. The LCA study area, which includes the Louisiana coastal area from Mississippi to Texas, is comprised of two wetland-dominated ecosystems, the Deltaic Plain of the Mississippi River and the closely linked Chenier Plain, both of which are influenced by the Mississippi River.
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries - Oil Spill Information
More Information
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is working closely with state and federal agencies and British Petroleum (BP) officials to protect fish and wildlife resources along the state's coastline following the oil rig explosion in the Gulf on April 20, 2010.

The Rapid Response system was developed to provide near realtime imagery from the MODIS instrument for users who require an immediate view of a specific phenomenon from satellites.
Multipurpose Marine Cadastre - NOAA Digital Coast
More Information
This data viewer provides the baseline information needed for marine spatial planning efforts, particularly those that involve finding the best location for renewable energy projects. The Multipurpose Marine Cadastre (MMC) is also a helpful tool in the permit review process. Users pick the ocean geography of their choosing and quickly see the applicable jurisdictional boundaries, restricted areas, laws, critical habitat locations, and other important features. With the MMC, potential conflicts can be identified and avoided early in the planning process.
