Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as part of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project, conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms and longer-term processes related to sediment supply and sea-level rise. On July 24, 2010, the USGS's NACCH project conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey at the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, and Dauphin Island, Alabama, aboard a Beechcraft BE90 King Air aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (152 meters) and approximately 1,200 feet (366 meters) offshore to collect baseline data.
