A series of reports on habitat modifications of the Atlantic coast from Maine to North Carolina prior to and after Hurricane Sandy have been produced by Tracy Monegan Rice of Terwilliger Inc. Consulting. The majority of her source material was from Google Earth and the information is summarized by community in the database, allowing for a roll-up by various geographic units of interest. All spatial data is also available on the North Atlantic LCC's spatial data viewer, the Conservation Planning Atlas, under the coastal and marine galleries.
