Collecting data is the first step to understanding the ecosystems in and around our national parks. Having this information helps park managers make informed decisions to better protect wildlife, environment, and other natural resources. At the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN), we manage data and information. Mostly, we ensure that the integrity, utility, security, and availability of data are preserved in the long-term. Below are publications and resources related to data collected from our ecological monitoring work.

Explore Visualized Data
We have a collection of data visualizers that show how ocean shorelines have changed over time at NCBN parks. The data used to create these visualizations come from shoreline monitoring at Assateague Island National Seashore, Fire Island National Seashore, Gateway National Recreation Area, and Sagamore Hill National Historic Site.
