The purpose of this flight report is to summarize the field activities of the ShoreZone aerial video imaging (AVI) survey conducted out of Nome and Kotzebue in Northwest Alaska during July 18-22, 2012. The survey was conducted by Coastal & Ocean Resources Inc. (CORI) under contract with the National Park Service (NPS). A coastal ecologist from Archipelago Marine Research Ltd (AMRL) provided biological observations during the flights. Table1 provides a summary of crew affiliations and responsibilities. The tables and figures on the following pages summarize the extent and location of the 3,095 km (*based on the digital Alaska Coastline 1:63,360) of AVI data and imagery collected by the team. The teams utilized a Robinson R-44 helicopter charted from Bering Air in Nome, Alaska. Imagery was collected looking at the shoreline from the left side of the aircraft with the doors removed. A total of 27 HD mini DV master tapes were collected during the survey and recorded to DVDs. This report contains a summary table for each tape, illustrating its location, length, and key geographic points. Maps for each tape are annotated with representative geographic names, trackline times
