This data set contains 4-band ortho-rectified mosaic tiles, created as a product from the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative. The source imagery was acquired on 20250920 with a Phase One Digital Sensor System (DSS). The original images were acquired at a higher resolution to support the final ortho-rectified mosaic.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of Laguna Madre, Corpus Christi Bay to Pita Island, TX . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coasta...
Original Geographic Extent: San Diego, California, covering approximately 20.5 square miles. Original Dataset Description: San Diego, California 2014 LiDAR project called for the Planning, Acquisition, processing and derivative products of LIDAR data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.35 meters. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geos...
These data depict areas of aquatic beds of rooted vascular plants located in coastal North Carolina. These areas primarily consist of submersed rooted vascular (SRV) plants, with some inclusion of floating rooted vascular (FRV) plants. To ensure consistency with other similar benthic datasets developed by NOAA, the original nomenclature and definitions from NOAA's Coastal Change Analysis Progra...
These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of Port of Kodiak, AK . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute S...
Original Geographic Extent: San Diego, California, covering approximately 1,505 square miles. Original Dataset Description: San Diego, California 2014 LiDAR project called for the Planning, Acquisition, processing and derivative products of LIDAR data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.7 meter. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geos...
Original Product: Hydro-flattened Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data covering the QL1 and QL0 portions of the Alameda County Lidar 2021 project area. Original Geographic Extent: CA_AlamedaCo_1 (Work Unit 221238): This is the 2021 QL1 collection area and it covers approximately 376 square miles in Alameda County, CA. CA_AlamedaCo_2 (Work Unit 225021): This is the 2019 QL1 collection upgra...
Scientists at NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) are using environmental DNA (eDNA) to identify fish communities and monitor ecosystems by collecting a water sample and analyzing the DNA found in it, identifying the species that left it behind without capturing a single animal. As animals swim, they shed scales, tissue, and waste, leaving traces of DNA in the water. A water sampl...
The primary goal of the Turtle Ecology program is to assess and monitor sea turtle populations in the Greater Atlantic Region in order to support scientific resource management needs and species recovery goals, as mandated through the Endangered Species Act and other federal statutes. Our research approach provides infrastructure, data streams, and data products through partnership with a wide...
The NEFSC has been conducting aerial surveys of gray seal pupping colonies since 2005 to monitor the number of pups born in U.S. waters. Surveys are flown from either a Cessna 252, Cessna Skymaster, or NOAA Twin Otter at altitudes ranging from 180-230 meters, using hand-held or belly-mounted Canon camera systems. Surveys may also be conducted with Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) at select colon...
This dataset provides information on the locations and deployment details of Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) devices associated with NOAA Fisheries, NEFSC and its partner projects. The data were sourced from the Regional Wildlife Science Collaborative (RWSC) Research Planning Map and were provided in part by the Marine Mammal Subcommittee. To view specific information about each deployment, c...
The North Atlantic Right Whale Aerial Survey is a NOAA Fisheries program conducted by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, which conducts aerial surveys to locate and record the seasonal distribution of North Atlantic Right Whales (Eubalaena glacialis) off the northeastern coast of the United States. The purpose of these North Atlantic Right Whale (NARW) aerial surveys is to monitor the popu...
The Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Survey, conducted by the Conservation Ecology Branch at the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, develops abundance and distribution models that incorporate environmental factors to better understand how protected species such as whales, dolphins, and sea turtles use our waters. The program coordinates the data collection and analysis efforts of NOAA Fisheries No...
The Hook and Line Survey will collect species-specific aggregate weight and abundance, as well as individual lengths and biological characteristics (e.g., age, maturity, genetics, diet, energetics). Tagging will also be conducted opportunistically and by request. In addition to deploying hook and line gear, the survey will deploy a benthic stereo camera system to collect additional information...
