Enter NOAA’s ERMA
Environmental Response Management Application
National Park ServiceU.S. Department of the InteriorGlacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska
1) Google “NOAA ERMA”. Enter the website.
2) Click on “Arctic ERMA”.
3) Then click on “Visit Arctic ERMA”.
4) In the Search bar, type “Alaska ShoreZone”. Activate-able ShoreZone layers will appear to the right. Zoom to your area of interest on the basemap, and select layers of your choice.

The Glacier Bay project will contain the core elements provided by ShoreZone, but conforming to the Coastwalkerdata structure that is based on georeferenced Shoreline Segment polygons.
National Park ServiceU.S. Department of the InteriorGlacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska
For each Shoreline Segment polygon, the project will provide:• Georeferenced aerial imagery (edge-matched
stills)• Shore Type• Wave Exposure Category• Oil Residency Index (ORI)• Representative ground photos• NOAA Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI)
data• Pan/zoom navigation & Shoreline Segment
selection

Overall Strategy
• Develop basic project in ERMA.• Derive attributes from Coastwalker.• Add those attributes to ERMA project.• Provide links to/from(?) ShoreZone
data.• Enrich with additional Coastwalker
data.
