Web-Based Viewer of Beach Topographic Data
This project will be conducted by the Washington State Department of Ecology Applied Research and Engineering section (ACRE) and will create the necessary WebGIS infrastructure to host and distribute coastal lidar data collected by ACRE during previous ESRP-funded projects. Currently, the lidar data collected by ACRE is available only by request and there is no online repository or map/list of datasets. This project will streamline the process for scientists, planners, consultants, engineers, and the public to find, explore, and download ESRP-funded topographic shoreline lidar data in the Puget Sound. Access to this data will provide baseline information for prioritization of restoration sites, design of restoration and soft-shore stabilization projects, and evaluation of restoration project performance post construction. alt=Map of Washington State’s Puget Sound displaying extent of lidar acquisition. Sites, from North to South, include Point Roberts, Point Whitehorn, Waldron Island, Guemes Island, Jackson Beach, Cattle Point, Agate Beach, Whidbey Island West, Polnell Point, Ledgewood, Dungeness, Elwha, Point Wilson, Port Williams, Camano Island, Diamond Point, Marrowstone Island, Driftwood Keys, Useless Bay, Scatchet Head, Hansville, Port Gamble Bay, Kingston, Dabob Bay, Poulsbo, Silverdale, Wing Point, Point White, Pleasant Beach, East Bremerton, Point Glover, Seahurst, Saltwater, Maury Island, Herron Island, Edgewater Beach, and JBLM.|thumb|714x714px|Map displaying extents of ACRE collected boat-based lidar data|left
