Digital Aerial Photography of the Texas Coast, Phase 1

Summary

This Water Development Board project is part of Phase 1 of a three-phased digital aerial photography project that will result in the acquisition, storage, and distribution of up-to-date digital aerial photography of the entire Texas coastal zone. During this phase the GLO will begin acquiring aerial photography for the 18 counties in the coastal zone. Private contractors will provide aerial photography of approximately 19,000 square miles throughout the coastal counties, including all bays and gulf waters from the barrier islands to approximately one mile into the Gulf of Mexico. The captured imagery will be 4-band, half-meter pixel resolution, GeoTIFF format, and will be stored, processed, analyzed, manipulated, and visualized digitally.
