Pacific Coast Land Cover
The Pacific Coast is truly a unique landscape consisting of various physiographic regions. With dynamic landforms such as California's white sand beaches in the south and the rugged and rocky coasts of Washington in the north, the Pacific Coast is very different from other coastal regions in the U.S. Another unique feature running along the Pacific Ocean is the Coast Ranges, which have peak elevations of about 1,200 meters in the state of Oregon. Aside from supporting numerous fish and wildlife species, this diverse landscape is a critical component of the states' economies since it supports activities such as timber harvesting, agriculture, commercial fisheries, and tourism. As part of this project, additional land use information was added to the southern portion of coastal California.
