The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Great Lakes Program has launched a New York Great Lakes Shore Viewer, an interactive map that allows users to explore approximately 850 miles of New York’s Great Lakes shorelines, including Lake Erie, the Niagara River, Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River, and many of the larger embayments.
The viewer includes coastal oblique aerial imagery of the NY Great Lakes shorelines collected by citizen volunteers with the Civil Air Patrol – NY Wing in partnership with DEC.
Routinely updated and publicly accessible coastal oblique imagery is intended to support state resilience programs, promote ecosystem-based shoreline management, and assist with shoreline change monitoring.
