2 Current Washington Coastal Atlas

3 1 st version of WA Coastal Atlas was produced din 1995 Folks contributing to the major update in progress include: SEA Kathy Taylor Deborah Purce GIS Unit Dan Saul Darby Veeck Liz O Dea IT Tammy Pelletier Dan Scavezze

4 Washington Coastal Atlas Purpose To make relevant information easily available for use in coastal and shoreline resource planning and management. Examples Provide information to update local Shoreline Master Programs View current or historic aerial photos of project sites Gather information prior to field work or site visits Quickly prepare maps to inform a variety of audiences on specific topics View changes over time in the marine shoreline or in upland land cover

5 Primary Targets Target Audience Other important users Local governments Tribal governments implementing WA CZM Federal agencies through local Shoreline Master Programs Non governmental organizations State government agencies Outdoor recreation groups with authority to regulate Real estate professionals or manage activities on the Private citizens shorelines and tidelands of Washington

30 Atlas redesign A leap forward: From interactive map to true atlas Integrated information and tools

31 Technology Current: ESRI ArcIMS 9.2 ArcSDE 9.3: Data, simplified metadata MS SQL Server 2005 IIS Server, Apache Tomcat t ASP.NET v2.0 (Coastal Image Viewer & Land Cover Tool) Future: ESRI ArcGIS Server 9.3 ESRI JavaScript & Silverlight APIs

32 Atlas Redesign: New Tools Specific tools for targeted users Information for the public on where and how to access the areas of shoreline open to the public Improved shoreline photo viewer Beach closures (and water quality) Changes in land cover over time Flood maps

33 Atlas Redesign: Integrated Information Puget Sound Shorelines Washington s Coast

34 Actively incorporating what we know about Coastal Atlas users current knowledge of target user groups professional design professional design expertise (Tammy)

35 to create an improved user interface:

36 New field validated public access data Thanks to our NOAA Coastal Management Fellow, Deborah Purce (and many field assistants )

41 FEMA Flood Maps

42 Improved photo viewer

43 Additional examples for use of current atlas: Shoreline photos and/or data layers are used for basic and applied research local planning project site characterization permit enforcement recreation (e.g. kayak) land ownership and use transactions One of the most used applications on the entire Washington State t Department tof Ecology web site

44 We expect new users for new data: Public access to shoreline Flood map information i Beach closures/water quality

45 Resources/Support for the Atlas Managed agedand maintained edby Ecology ogy staff Funding sources: State funds Washington s NOAA OCRM Coastal Zone Management grant Oh Other state agencies have contributed data, staff time and small amounts of funding for specific components.

46 Collaborative opportunities: Within Washington: Watershed Characterization (PSP, WDFW) Puget Sound Data Exchange Network (PSP, RCO, and others) Larger Scale Efforts: Information exchange among west coast atlases ICAN
