Charges, activities, membership, and contact information for the Coastal Zone Soil Survey Team.

Overview
Since the 1990s, soil survey mapping and data collection have been improving the soil survey along the coastal zone from the Mid-Atlantic to New England. This includes the dunes, marshes, beaches, and shallow sub-tidal soils in coastal lagoons, bays, and inlets. Coastal zone soil surveys are now available in Web Soil Survey for Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. The NCSS is expanding this work throughout the coastal U.S. with Massachusetts and New York scheduled to be the next survey areas added.
