<p><i>Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become a crucial support tool for governmental decision makers at many levels. Internet-based GIS applications provide unique services for the presentation of spatial data and mapping products to a broad range of audiences. Furthermore, compact and portable mapping devices provide new opportunities for the expansion of Internet-based GIS applications. In this paper, we present results of the research and development of a web-based, mobile, spatial system for coastal management, and decision-making that integrates these technologies. The developed system consists of an on-site mobile spatial subsystem, a web-based shoreline erosion awareness subsystem, and a coastal structures permit subsystem. The system is designed and developed for applications in the Lake Erie area and has the potential to be adapted and applied in other coastal areas.</i></p>
