of Oregon’s shorezone. Shorezone is a coastal habitat mapping and classification system in which georeferenced aerial imagery is collected specifically for the interpretation and integration of geomorphic and biological features of the intertidal zone and
nearshore environment. Oblique low-altitude aerial video and digital still imagery of the coastal zone is collected during the lowest tides of the year, usually from a helicopter flying at or below 100 m altitude. During image collection, the aircraft's GPS
position is continuously recorded so that the video and still imagery have positional information. Video imagery is accompanied by continuous, simultaneous commentary by a geologist and a biologist aboard the aircraft. The imagery and commentary are used in
the definition of discrete along-shore coastal habitat units and the mapping of observed physical, geomorphic, sedimentary, and biological across-shore components within those units. Units are digitized as shoreline segments in ArcGIS, then integrated with
the along-shore and across-shore geological and biological data attribute tables housed in the geodatabase. Mapped habitat features include degree of wave exposure, substrate type, sediment texture, intertidal biota, and some nearshore subtidal biota.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif">As work winds down on the Framework Data Development projects that were funded during the 2013-15 biennium, I look forward to a new set of project proposals coming from the FIT community this spring.
While the amount of funding available, $500,000 is not even close to the amount needed to make a big dent toward completion of the Oregon Framework vision, it is critical for continued progress. I appreciate all of the creative and important project work
that has resulted from these past projects; it keeps the Framework program moving forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
