Exploring shoreline positions for Puerto Rico from 1901 to 2018
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has developed a Spanish and English geonarrative that displays shoreline changes in Puerto Rico and covers topics on the island’s historical shoreline trends, hurricane impacts on the coast, and possible solutions that could help protect communities and mitigate coastal hazards. This geonarrative introduces the shoreline database published by USGS in a visual and user-friendly way to efficiently communicate our scientific information to the public.
