The National Coastal Condition Assessment (NCCA) reports on the health of estuarine and Great Lakes nearshore waters nationally as well as for four regional estuarine areas (the Northeast, Southeast, Gulf of Mexico, and the West Coast) and each of the Great Lakes separately. The following summaries include four indicators for ecological health and three indicators related to recreational use of these essential resources.

Additional regional and other subpopulation results are available on the interactive NCCA Dashboard, including information on individual indicators across all five categories and change in quality.
