An educational web site to promote the public's understanding of the complexity of habitat, specifically with respect to beach restoration management.  An interactive Geographic Information System (GIS) database allows resource management teams, students and the public to gain a better understanding of the relationships between weather conditions, coastal processes, water quality and shoreline change. The database consist of aerial photographs, sediment data, meteorological information, beach profile (elevation) surveys, alternative imaging (satellite and remote electronic), as well as water quality, wave, current, and modeling data.  The database is equipped with space allocation for additional evaluation parameters such as biological and ecological indicators for use as that data becomes available.
