Field Activity 03CNT04

Identifier 03CNT04
Data provider Digital Coast /FEMA
Purpose The purpose of this mapping project is to create and deliver digital terrain models (DTM), to support the environmental, social, and economic well being of the coast by linking people, information, and technology. The data will support the local Coastal Zone Managers in their decision-making processes.
