Developed in partnership with COMET Program/MetEd, this video explains the role of topo-bathy lidar products in NOAA’s mapping and charting program. The video shows how these products provide a critical dataset for coastal resilience, coastal intelligence, and place-based conservation. Federal, state and local decision-makers, coastal zone managers, community planners as well as general and scientific users of mapping products will find this 4-minute video helpful for understanding the benefits of coastal elevation data produced by NGS.
