The Alaska Regional Office of NOAA Fisheries hosts a web portal to coastal imagery and habitat mapping for the Alaska ShoreZone Program. Through this web portal you can view millions of low altitude images of Alaska’s coastline or access detailed coastal habitat classifications in various map layers. High end users can create their own habitat queries and download custom habitat maps. This web portal is available to the public and as more coastline is imaged and mapped the web portal is regularly updated. Providing this online tool has been invaluable to coastal managers, researchers, and educators.
