left|400pxThe NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) is a nationwide initiative managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It provides high-resolution land cover and land change data for coastal regions of the United States. Established in the 1990s, C-CAP uses satellite imagery to track habitat changes, urbanization, and environmental shifts over time. The program supports coastal resource management, climate resilience planning, and disaster response by offering accurate and standardized data. C-CAP helps policymakers, scientists, and communities understand and manage coastal ecosystems, ensuring sustainable development and conservation of critical coastal areas.
