CanVis
Developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agroforestry Center. The NOAA Coastal Services Center expanded the tool to include coastal objects.
CanVis is a visualization program used to "see" potential impacts from coastal development or sea level rise. Users can download background pictures and insert the objects (hotel, house, marina, or other objects) of their choosing. The software is used by municipalities to brainstorm new ideas and policies, undertake project planning, and make presentations.
Features
- Use your photographs as the background scene. Add docks, buildings, rising waters, and other objects to see potential scenarios.
- Quickly brainstorm "what if" scenarios with this easy-to-use tool.
