High Resolution Land Cover Maps Now Available
NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management has released higher resolution land cover maps for Alabama, Mississippi, Northeast Ohio, Rhode Island, and the Puget Sound in Washington.
These 1 meter data—previously only available in 30 meter—provide more detail communities need to map and understand their landscapes and features, including tree canopy, wetlands, impervious surface and several other categories. This additional detail will help inform decisions regarding stormwater management, flood mitigation, wetland restoration, and more.
CSS employee owners—subcontracted through Lynker Technologies—contributed to the release of this data set by participating in production activities and providing quality assurance/quality control checks.
Through this effort CSS employee owners help improve community resilience.
Find these new high-resolution land cover data through NOAA’s Digital Coast.
