The atlas provides geographically linked information to
support coastal zone management and has been significantly
improved in the past year. It now includes information on:
• habitat features such as wetlands & eelgrass,
• physical features such as drift cells & slope
stability,
• regulated features such as rivers & streams regulated
by the Shoreline Management Act,
• shoreline modifications such as piers and docks, &
• jurisdictional delineations such as cities and
watersheds.
The Washington Coastal Atlas also offers:
• downloadable current & historic oblique aerial
photography of all Washington marine shorelines & some
freshwater shorelines
• land cover information for 1991, 1996, and 2001
• reports showing the amount of change in forest canopy
cover and
• impervious surface cover between these years at a county,
watershed & sub-basin scale.
