Coastal Zone USGS- GIS Satellite Imagery

To do coastal research you may want to use the U.S. Department of the Interior | U.S. Geological Survey - GIS tool sets. Emergency Operation (EO) is one I find very interesting -
Here is an image of the Haiti coast.
At EO you can check on:
Earthquakes, Fires, Floods, Human-induced, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Volcanoes arrow

And, I might add to do studies on the natural and human impact on coastal zones.
