This program is designed to help people understand the potential impacts of climate change on sea levels. This web browser-based application displays map pairs of the same area, each at different sea levels. The strength of this tool is its ability to visually show the modeling of sea level rise predictions, allowing people to see the impacts in a more intuitive way.

The information will also support nongovernmental organizations, government decision makers and other users with an interest in land cover dynamics, conservation and continental-scale patterns of North America’s changing environment. The map-making tool is available here.

The agency has developed a series of topical maps to show wetlands and deepwater habitats. This geospatial information is used by Federal, State, and local agencies, academic institutions, and private industry for management, research, policy development, education and planning activities. National Wetlands Inventory digital data can be viewed and downloaded through several methods.
