Project Summary
• Over 20 years coastal data in GIS from 5 of its 6 coastal programs
• County has a map document for each project and a framework for similar projects
• Updates from ongoing projects occur once or twice a year as new data becomes available.
• Desktop map documents and web applications that give them access to their historical and current project data, and allow them to plan future projects.
Project Summary
• Requests of information, agency collaboration
• Established the foundation for a permit tracking system
