Publicly available imagery of coastal environments in Texas, provided by the Harte Research Institute at TAMUCC (Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi), funded by the Texas General Land Office (GLO).

Images such as the example above are oblique, taken from a low-altitude aircraft with approximate positions. In total, there are over 10,000 images covering the whole Texas coastline, each categorized by one of the following dominant classes ("developed" classes are ***):

* ***Exposed walls and other structures made of concrete, wood, or metal***
* Scarps and steep slopes in clay
* Wave-cut clay platforms
* Fine-grained sand beaches
* Scarps and steep slopes in sand
* Coarse-grained sand beaches
* Mixed sand and gravel (shell) beaches
* Gravel (shell) beaches
* ***Exposed riprap structures***
* Exposed tidal flats
* ***Sheltered solid man-made structures, such as bulkheads and docks***
* ***Sheltered riprap structures***
* Sheltered scarps
* Sheltered tidal flats
* Salt- and brackish-water marshes
* Fresh-water marshes (herbaceous vegetation)
