🏖️Just in time for Summer, GCOOS has completed the inclusion of our app into the GCOOS ArcGIS Online. All Things Beaches is a one-stop-shop for information beachgoers need to have a fun, safe day at a Gulf beach. Want to know how hot it is? If there are weather alerts, rip currents, harmful algal blooms or water quality issues on a beach you plan to visit? The interactive maps on All Things Beaches allow visitors to explore beaches across the Gulf, including those that are regularly monitored and tested for water quality in coastal Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and on Florida's west coast. The guide also includes local links to beach information, including hours, parking, restrooms, showers, accessibility and other amenities. All Things Beaches is just another way that the community puts data to work for you!
