Between 1992 and 1997, the Washington State Department of Ecology acquired oblique aerial photography of the state's entire 2,500 miles of marine shoreline. To view the photos, begin by clicking on the home page map.
The collection of over 10,000 photographs provides a valuable educational monitoring tool for coastal managers and the public.
The true-color photos comprise a continuous series, panning left to right
along the shoreline. The photos were taken to optimize sun angle, shoreline
orientation, and low tides. Oblique photos are useful for interpreting bluff geology and land-sliding, riparian vegetation, and shoreline modifications such as bulkheads and
seawalls.
The Shoreline Aerial Photo Web site is a presentation of Washington State Department of Ecology.
The site was funded in part by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management.
