Here you will find materials that
provide information about coastal systems which can help in
understanding coastal erosion and the sensitivity of coastal
environments.
This gives a thorough description of the Atlantic Canada coastal
environments. Description includes the sediment, currents and tidal
influences, the species that are associated with these
environments.
The Government of Maine conducted a Coastal Erosion Assessment to
note which areas that are rapidly eroding in order prioritize the
regions that require the development of up to date flood maps
(because the old ones will not reflect the true potential for
flooding). It explains coastal erosion processes, the methodology
(including use of air photos and beach profiling) and conclusions
for the assessment.
Here you will
find information concerning mapping tools that can be of use with
monitoring coastal erosion.

The COINAtlantic search function provides a utility to find visuals
that include aspects of coastal erosion such as bathymetry,
temperature, etc.
