The National Park Service is offering a grant to support projects aiming to raise awareness of the impact of sea level rise on Park resources. This grant will fund the creation of 3D visualizations using laser scans and GIS models to demonstrate potential flooding scenarios. The goal is to assist Park officials in minimizing damage, while also educating the public and other land managers on the importance and value of these tools. The grant seeks to develop best practices for managing the effects of sea level rise on roads, visitor centers, and cultural and natural resources within park boundaries.

| Description: | A. Project Goals ¿ To create awareness of threatened Park resources, both natural and cultural, by various levels of predicted future sea rise. This awareness will aid Park, Regional, and WASO officials in taking steps to minimize damage and disruption to Park resources. This information will also be useful to owners/managers of similar topographical land in areas outside the Park. To make the general public aware of the value of this tool. B. Project Objectives ¿ 1. A 3D laser scan of coastal park units. 2. 3D scan data will combine with topographic GIS models and various sea level rise scenarios to build 3D visualizations of how flooding estimates will affect specific park resources. 3. Propose best practices for managing impacts to park units by producing highly accurate 3D visualizations that can translate the generalized threat of the impacts of changes in ambient environmental conditions into site-specific, quickly understandable information about the particular effects on roads, visitor centers, and cultural, natural, and recreational resources within the park boundary. |
