The coast of North Carolina is extensive, dynamic and rich with natural resources and vibrant culture. The North Carolina Coastal Atlas is a collaborative effort to enable access to coastal data and inform coastal managers, scientists, students and the interested public. The Atlas provides selected geospatial data, visualization tools, and thematic maps focused on coastal resources and hazards. We hope these data and map tools can help inform decision-making for sustainable use of the coast.
