The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as part of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project, conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms and longer-term processes related to sediment supply and sea-level rise. On September 3, 2010, the USGS's NACCH project conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from Breton Island to the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, aboard a Cessna 210 aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (152 meters) and approximately 1,200 feet (366 meters) offshore to collect baseline data. Low resolution versions of these images are available in the interactive map viewer on the Baseline Oblique Aerial Photography page.
