These nationally standardized, raster-based map products bring NOAA’s national land cover mapping framework to the local level, providing a level of detail that has not been available in past Regional (30-meter) products.
Data in these geographies has been refined and expanded to include the up to 20 standard C-CAP land cover categories, including wetlands. Future data updates are envisioned to occur every four to six years.
Learn more about high resolution C-CAP land cover data at https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/data/ccaphighres.html.
Recommended: For each geotiff, download the companion auxiliary file (.tif.aux.xml), which contains display and attribute information.
Use Restriction: This land cover data may not be used for the purpose of creating, training, improving, modifying, validating, testing, or evaluating machine learning algorithms, or otherwise leverage the product for the purposes of machine learning for a period of five years from its date of creation. By downloading this data you are agreeing to this restriction.
