Data Analysis & Management

SCDES BCM staff utilize a variety of spatial and non-spatial data for coastal planning and regulatory activities. Using the latest GIS desktop, online, and mobile applications and software platforms, the Coastal Services section provides data analysis and management services to support staff, programs, and product development. Coastal Services staff also manage projects and contracts associated with large-scale data collection efforts. One of the significant data analysis and management efforts that Coastal Services oversees is the review of the State’s Beachfront Jurisdictional Lines, where staff are involved with data collection, geospatial analysis, and providing final products to the public.
