Super Storm Sandy in 2012 produced marine debris along the east coast of the US. Marine debris poses a danger to navigation and impacts marine habitat. FEMA, NOAA and state/local agencies surveyed and removed marine debris in coastal areas. We analyzed remaining debris in GIS to find potential dangers to navigation, mapped debris with lidar and imagery, recommended best practices for future response on how marine debris data is attributed to inform further action of decision makers. | |
