Data
Coastal Change Analysis Program High Resolution Land Cover
Produced and distributed by the NOAA Coastal Services Center
The Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) is a nationally standardized database of land cover information (developed using remotely sensed imagery) for the coastal regions of the U.S. C-CAP products provide inventories of coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands. High-resolution C-CAP products bring this national mapping framework to the local level, providing data relevant for addressing site-specific management decisions.
