Abstract
Web-Enabled GIS for Coastal Habitat Restoration in Corpus Christi Bay Track: Application Development Author(s): Daniel Longmatey Effective management of restored habitats along the coast of Texas has become an issue of growing concern in coastal science today. In the Corpus Christi area alone, more than three million dollars have been allocated for beach restoration since 2001. To support the state's investment efforts, a Web-enabled GIS is being developed to provide a comprehensive spatial data framework for monitoring restored shoreline and coastal habitats in the Corpus Christi Bay. The goal of this project is to develop a GIS using the recently restored University Beach located along the southern coastline of the bay as the primary area of focus. This paper will discuss development of the coastal GIS database and a custom Web application with integrated GIS functionality that allows remote users to interactively access the coastal GIS data using a Web browser.
