These data were automated to provide an accurate high-resolution historical shoreline of Grays Harbor, Washington suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. These data are derived from shoreline maps that were produced by the NOAA National Ocean Service including its predecessor agencies which were based on an office interpretation of imagery and/or field survey. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.

This map shows vegetation in Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge. Bowerman Basin, where Grays Harbor is located, is home to unique habitat types that provide sustenance for a diversity of birds that occupy and come through the Refuge. Grays Harbor provides a unique set of diverse ecosystem that attracts different kinds of birds.This map is part of the storymap, An Incredible Journey. Every year in early May, a tranquil little dot on the Washington coastline transforms into a high-traffic north-south shorebird highway known as the Pacific Flyway. From long-distance fliers to birds that prefer a more scenic route, they all stop there because it has all the amenities that a hungry and tired bird could want. So, where is this place? It’s Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge, and it’s nature’s version of Grand Central Station.

This map shows Motus tag deployments as of April 17, 2023.Some migratory shorebirds fly long distances. Really long distances. Shorebirds can fly from as far away as South America to the northern end of Alaska in the summer, and again during the winter. This is called the Pacific Flyway.But how do we know the paths that birds fly? How do we know where they stop, what they eat, and who their predators may be? We track them.The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is an international collaborative research network of automated radio-telemetry receiving stations. Motus, which is Latin for movement, tracks insects, birds, bats, and other animals over the landscape, using radio technology. It's just one of the tools that biologists, conservationists, and others use to monitor wildlife. In this storymap, we share how Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge and Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge are contributing to bird conservation through tracking--one bird at a time.
