IRE and NICAR offer numerous resources that can help journalists report on coastline change using computer-assisted reporting. Highlights include the series "Boom on the Beach" by USA Today, which examined economic growth along coasts, and "Shoreline in Peril" by Newsday, which found property owners building at public expense. Tipsheets such as "Land Scandals by the Sea" focus on how to look at court documents and environmental records for coastal development stories.
