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).

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Resources - GULFSEAGRANT.ORG
More Information
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill site, hosted by the four Gulf Sea Grant programs, provides visitors with current information about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, as well as easy access to the archives of science-based and objective content gathered in the wake of the spill. Content will be continually updated, and visitors should check back often for new and revised information.
The spill was caused by an explosion and subsequent fire that damaged a deepwater drilling platform approximately 50 miles southeast of Venice, La. The rig capsized and sank on April 22, 2010, after burning for hours. The rig was owned by Transocean and was under contract to British Petroleum (BP).

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.

More Information
During the initial phases of an oil spill response, information about the release is often extremely sketchy. Although various types of remote sensing techniques are available for detecting and mapping oil distribution, the most reliable technique is visual observations
from aircraft. These observations are used by the response team to forecast subsequent oil movement, implement appropriate oil spill countermeasures, and inform the wider response community of the present status of pollution distribution.
