The NGS Ecosystem and Climate Operations (ECO) Program has contributed to many publications addressing coastal applications of traditional survey techniques. ECO has also written guidelines for completing survey work in the coastal environment. The documents on this page are very closely related to the ECO Program, but more general NGS topics can be explored here.
