State planning specialist presents updated beaches-and-dunes maps and model Goal 18 code

Rhiannon Bazor, coastal shoreland specialist with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, told the commission that DLCD secured NOAA funding and contracted Dogami (Department of Geologic and Mineral Industries) to update coastal inventories and maps in 2022. She said the updated maps include beaches and more detailed dune classifications compared with the 1975 inventories and provide GIS datasets and a report documenting methods and change analysis. "We at DLCD were able to secure funding through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, to contract with Dogami, the Department of Geologic and Mineral Industries, to update these maps," she said.
