Overview: Beach and Tidal Habitat Inventories
This series of reports, databases, and data layers provides an inventory of sandy beach and tidal inlet habitats from Maine to North Carolina, as well as an inventory of modifications to sandy beaches and tidal inlets prior to, immediately after, and three years after Hurricane Sandy.
This project inventoried modifications to both tidal inlet and sandy, oceanfront beach habitats along the Atlantic coast from Maine through North Carolina. Three distinct time periods were assessed: before Hurricane Sandy (early 2012), immediately after Hurricane Sandy (November 2012), and three years after Hurricane Sandy (2015) to document modifications to sandy beaches and tidal inlet habitat in response to the storm. The inventories and series of reports were generated using Google Earth imagery.
Details about each phase of the project and links to the resulting reports, databases, and data layers are available on three subpages:
- Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Tidal Inlet and Sandy Beach Habitat Prior to Hurricane Sandy (2012)
- Inventory of Storm-Induced Habitat Modifications to Tidal Inlet and Sandy Beach Habitat Caused by Hurricane Sandy (November 2012)
- Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Tidal Inlet and Sandy Beach Habitat (as of 2015)
