The Delaware Coastal Management Program provided content and feedback in the development of the first of the pilots. The lessons learned from these pilots led to the enhancement of the mapping methods and visual display used in this tool. Geological Survey collaborated with the Office for Coastal Management on the development of two previous sea level rise mapping tools, one in Wilmington, Delaware, and one in Mississippi and Alabama. The University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology through the NOAA Coastal Storms Program performed the mapping for Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Hawaii. The USGS CoNED Applications Project provided the base elevation data used to map Louisiana via their Topobathymetric Elevation Model of the Northern Gulf of Mexico.
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management acknowledges the many organizations that helped guide the development of this tool.
