Baseline coastal oblique aerial photographs collected from Dog Island, Florida, to Breton Island, Louisiana, June 24–25, 2008

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On June 24–25, 2008, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from Dog Island, Florida, to Breton Island, Louisiana, aboard a U.S. Coast Guard HH60 Helicopter at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore. This mission was conducted to collect data for assessing incremental changes in the beach and nearshore area since the last survey, which was flown in July 2007 (https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=07CCH01) (Morgan and Thornton, 2018 [https://doi.org/10.5066/F7FJ2G2M]), and the data can be used to assess future coastal change. The photographs provided are Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. The photograph locations are an estimate of the aircraft's position and do not indicate the location of the features in the images. These photographs document the configuration of the barrier islands and other coastal features at the time of the survey. ExifTool (version 4.0) was used to add the following to the header of each photograph: time of collection, GPS latitude, GPS longitude, keywords, credit, artist (photographer), caption, copyright, and contact information. Photographs can be opened with any JPEG-compatible image viewer. All image times are recorded in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
