Service Description:
Coastal Disturbance
The beach is a popular destination for many people who participate in a variety of activities that can threaten birds, especially when those activities overlap with critical periods when birds also rely on our coastlines. By identifying where and when this disturbance puts birds at the greatest risk, we can develop strategies to share our shorelines and ensure that enjoying the beach does not negatively impact birds. 

Data Source(s)
  • Nelson A, Weiss DJ, van Etten J, Cattaneo A, McMenomy TS, Koo J. 2019. A suite of global accessibility indicators. Scientific Data 6:266.

Processing
We mapped the current footprint of coastal disturbance as a binary surface by identifying 3-km cells that were within half an hour of ports and towns (5,000 people or more, Nelson et al. 2019) and within 6-km of the coast, including the Great Lakes (Wessel and Smith 2017).
