Coastal Hazards Risk Communication: A Technical Assistance Transfer Project within the National Estuarine Research Reserve System - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

Risk communication skills are essential for coastal community leaders in order to effectively engage, educate, and trigger behavioral changes that improve resilience to coastal hazards. In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve and NOAA's Office for Coastal Management recognized this need and developed risk communication trainings and tools. This project extended that work by developing and hosting two-day risk communication workshops for coastal outreach professionals in four coastal communities. Each event included the Office for Coastal Management's general risk communication training and a technical assistance workshop specific to the needs of the local decision-making community. This science transfer project was funded by NOAA through the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative to promote the use of science. It did not produce any new data.

Coastal Bend Texas Benthic Habitat Mapping Corpus Christi Bay 2004 Biotic

In 2006 and 2007 the NOAA Office for Coastal Management purchased services to process existing digital multi-spectral imagery (ADS-40) and create digital benthic habitat data from this imagery for selected Texas coastal bend bays.The Center worked cooperatively with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the Texas A and M University Center for Coastal Studies to develop benthic habitat data, primarily Submerged Aquatic Vegetation(SAV) for several coastal bays.  This data will support the state's recently adopted Seagrass Monitoring Program which calls for regional mapping of SAV for status and trends assessment.  The Center, Texas A and M, and TPWD have coordinated on the requirements of this project.

NOAA Office for Coastal Management Coastal Inundation Digital Elevation Model: Los Angeles/Oxnard (CA) WFO - Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties

This digital elevation model (DEM) is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer. The DEMs created for this project were developed using the NOAA National Weather Service's Weather Forecast Office (WFO) boundaries. Because the WFO boundaries can cover large areas, the WFO DEM was divided into smaller DEMs to ensure more manageable file sizes.  The Los Angeles/Oxnard (CA) WFO DEM was split into two smaller DEMs. They are divided along county lines and are: 1. Los Angeles/Oxnard (CA) WFO - Los Angeles and Ventura Counties 2. Los Angeles/Oxnard (CA) WFO - Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties  This metadata record describes the DEM for Los Angeles/Oxnard (CA) WFO - Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. The DEM includes the best available lidar data known to exist at the time of DEM creation for the coastal areas of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, that met project specifications.  The DEM is derived from LiDAR data collected for the California Coastal Conservancy between 2009 and 2011. Hydrographic breaklines used in the creation of the DEM were obtained from the California Coastal Conservancy. The DEMs are hydro flattened such that water elevations are less than or equal to 0 meters.  The DEM is referenced vertically to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with vertical units of meters and horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The resolution of the DEM is approximately 5 meters.

Preparing for Alaska's Changing Landscape - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

Kachemak Bay is one of Alaskaâs most productive, diverse, and intensively-used estuaries. It is also one of the most vulnerable. Local ice fields are melting rapidly, while at the same time the coast continues to experience coastal uplift from a powerful earthquake that rocked the area in 1964. Estimates for sea level rise are lacking, and many local communities are established on land that is vulnerable to erosion and inundation. To plan for a future in this uncertain landscape, these communities need to understand the implications of coastal uplift and sea level rise in this area.

West Coast AIS Vessel Tracks 2011

Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a navigation safety device that transmits and monitors the location and characteristics of many vessels in U.S. and international waters in real-time. In the U.S. the Coast Guard and industry collect AIS data, which can also be used for a variety of coastal planning purposes. NOAA and BOEM have worked jointly to re-task and make available some of the most important records from the U.S. Coast Guards national network of AIS receivers. Information such as location, time, ship type, length, width, and draft have been extracted from the raw data and prepared as track lines for analyses in desktop GIS software.

Thin-layer Sediment Placement: Evaluating an Adaptation Strategy to Enhance Coastal Marsh Resilience - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

Thin-layer placement (TLP) is an emergent climate adaptation strategy that mimics natural deposition processes in tidal marshes by adding a small amount of sediment on top of marsh in order to maintain elevation relative to sea level rise. This project addressed the needs of coastal managers and restoration practitioners for more information about TLP's effectiveness across diverse marsh plant communities and regions. Researchers conducted coordinated restoration experiments at eight National Estuarine Research Reserves across the East and West Coasts. The team assessed the impact of elevation, sediment type, and layer thickness on the success of this marsh adaptation technique. Greenhouse experiments exploring the effect of sediment texture and the addition of biochar as a soil amendment complemented these field studies. To support future use of TLP, the project team and an advisory committee of coastal managers at state and federal agencies and nonprofit groups created a suite of guidance documents including a consensus statement on thin-layer placement in tidal marsh ecosystems.

Pacific Northwest Carbon Stocks and Blue Carbon Database Project - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

Tidal wetlands are recognized for their important role in carbon sequestration, as well as for their potential to become significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions when converted to other land uses. The substantial quantities of carbon captured and stored by tidal wetlandsâtermed âblue carbonââis an ecosystem service of great interest to those developing regional, national, and global climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies, including carbon markets. While carbon stocks data have been collected in several parts of the world to quantify the carbon sequestration potential of tidal wetlands, there is a scarcity of such information in the Pacific Northwest.

Planning the Future by Exploring the Past in Mississippi's Grand Bay - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

People have harvested oysters in Mississippiâs Grand Bay for more than 4,000 years. Today, that legacy is at a crossroads. Increased pollution from residential and industrial development and overtaxed wastewater treatment systems is flowing into the Bay with potentially far-reaching effects on ecosystems, human health, and local economies. To protect human health and identify areas at risk for habitat degradation and fisheries loss, local decision-makers need more information about the extent of these impacts on local ecosystems.

NOAA's Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) 2016 Regional Land Cover Data - Coastal United States

The NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) produces national standardized land cover and change products for the coastal regions of the U.S.  C-CAP products inventory coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands with the goal of monitoring changes in these habitats, on a one-to-five year repeat cycle. The timeframe for this metadata is reported as 2016-Era, but the actual dates of the Landsat imagery used to create the land cover may have been acquired a few years before or after each era.  These maps are developed utilizing Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery, and can be used to track changes in the landscape through time.  This trend information gives important feedback to managers on the success or failure of management policies and programs and aid in developing a scientific understanding of the Earth system and its response to natural and human-induced changes. This understanding allows for the prediction of impacts due to these changes and the assessment of their cumulative effects, helping coastal resource managers make more informed regional decisions. NOAA C-CAP is a contributing member to the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics consortium and C-CAP products are included as the coastal expression of land cover within the National Land Cover Database.
