Hello all,

I have a patron who is looking for GIS data that would allow her to identify sandy vs. mudflat vs. rocky coastline, intertidal and near-shore areas of the Pacific Coast from Alaska to the southern tip of Baja CA.

She is also looking for data that would allow her to identify what type of rocks are in the rocky areas.

I'm not sure that anyone has published this type of data for a significant stretch of the area she is looking at. Any leads would be appreciated.

We are looking at individual coastal charts, topo maps, and geological maps for clues to conditions in a specific area.  However, we'd like to be able to search the entire coastline more efficiently.

Thanks,
