The Oregon Coastal Management Program (OCMP) staff are continually developing data and information products that assist local governments and network partners with coastal management related questions.
Data
OCMP develops and curates geospatial datasets that are available for download from the Oregon Coastal Atlas or viewable through a custom designed tool like those listed below. The program focuses on data products that inform decision-making related to the Oregon Coastal Zone. An example is the inventories required by the four coastal goals: estuarine resources, beaches and dunes, shorelands, and ocean resources.
The best way to access OCMP data catalog is to search the Oregon Coastal Atlas.
Tools
OCMP has created a variety of online resources, viewers, and GIS applications. Some of the most popular include:
Oregon Shore Explorer — An interactive map featuring recreational opportunities along the Oregon Coast.
Oregon Coastal Atlas — Provides background information for different coastal systems, access to interactive mapping, online geospatial analysis tools, and direct download of various planning and natural resource data sets of the Oregon Coastal Zone.
Oregon ShoreZone — A coastal habitat mapping and classification system that includes data, images, and videos.
Oregon Explorer — Maintained by Oregon State University. Find and access data, mapping tools, digital documents and other resources that support natural resource planning and decision-making in Oregon.
Oregon SeaSketch — An open-source software service that supports ocean conservation planning around the world. The software facilitates participatory marine spatial planning processes based on relevant science, observations, and public information.
Portals
OCMP contributes to the West Coast Ocean Data Portal — a project to increase discovery, and connectivity of ocean and coastal data and people to better inform regional resource management, policy development, and ocean planning.
