About Us: CCRM Advisory Service
CCRM provides advisory service in four areas:
|
Wetlands. CCRM staff support the Commonwealth's management programs for both tidal and nontidal wetlands. This work involves review of individual permits in the tidal program, development and implementation of assessment and monitoring protocols for the nontidal program, and issue-driven investigations in support of both.

Tidal Shorelines. The Center operates a continuing inventory of conditions along all 10,000 miles of Virginia's coastal zone shoreline. Data is collected using Global Positioning System (GPS) and remote sensing technologies. It is managed in a Geographic Information System (GIS) and supports a variety of applications by local, state, and federal agencies, as well as researchers, the business community, and private citizens. |
