Description
This map contains all data from phase 3 of the project "Beach and Tidal Inlet Habitat Inventories"

Phase 3 is an update of the habitat modifications inventories to include projects constructed and proposed within three years following Hurricane Sandy, through the end of calendar year 2015. Phase 3 includes two components of post-Sandy inventories:
1) replicating all Phase 1 work using imagery dated three years post-Sandy (late 2015 or early 2016) to capture the changes in inlets and sandy beaches following three years of recovery and restoration activities; and
2) adding a quantification of the lengths of beach in each state impacted by sand fencing and beach scraping following Hurricane Sandy using the best available information.
