Margaret Lamont, a U.S. Geological Survey research biologist who has studied sea turtles for nearly 30 years, prepares a cold-stunned sea turtle for transport during a mass rescue event near St. Joseph Bay, Florida January 23, 2024. Water temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit can be fatal to cold-blooded sea turtles, and about 60 were transported from St.

Overview of the coastal vegetation type products by mapping vegetation using National Agriculture Imagery Program within Google Earth Engine and fusing these data to national land use/land cover products. The example land use/land cover product shown here is the 10-m beta version of NOAA’s Coastal Change Assessment Program maps.
