NOAA Digital Coast

Federal platform providing coastal and Great Lakes data, training, and tools — relevant to Pennsylvania's Lake Erie shoreline communities.

NOAA Digital Coast provides data, tools, and training for coastal resource management, including information on sea level rise, shoreline change, water quality, wetlands, and coastal habitats. While focused on ocean coasts, Digital Coast also serves Great Lakes communities — including Pennsylvania's Lake Erie watershed around Erie County. The platform's Coastal Flood Exposure Mapper, Sea Level Rise Viewer, and Land Cover Atlas are among the most-used tools. Digital Coast also offers free training webinars and in-person workshops for planners and conservation professionals. Pennsylvania Sea Grant can connect Lake Erie watershed groups to Digital Coast resources and training.
