Environmental decision support

Build for people.
Protect wildlife.

Coexist brings wildlife, habitat, and infrastructure evidence into the conversation before a project's options—and costs—become harder to change.

  • Long Island coverage
  • Public environmental evidence
  • Built for earlier decisions

The planning gap

People and wildlife share the same land. They rarely share the same information.

Roads, buildings, and parking lots can cut through habitat animals depend on. The evidence that could surface that early is real and often public, but it is rarely organized for the people making the decision.

01

Wildlife data is scattered

Sightings, roadkill reports, habitat maps, and infrastructure plans usually live in different systems that don't talk to each other.

02

People and wildlife get planned separately

Communities, agencies, and project teams often make land-use decisions without an easy way to see how wildlife uses the same land.

03

By the time it's visible, it's expensive

Once a design is finalized or construction has started, addressing a wildlife or habitat conflict can be far harder and costlier.

What we're building

One evidence base. Two ways to use it.

Explore helps anyone understand an area. Analyze turns that same evidence into a clear early-stage record for a specific proposed project.

01

Coexist Explore

Understand the environmental context around a place before it becomes a debate.

  • Wildlife observations, habitat context, and infrastructure layers
  • Search any address, town, road, or park on Long Island
  • Free to use, with no account required
Explore your area

02

Coexist Analyze

Bring the relevant evidence into a project conversation before choices become difficult to change.

  • Apply the same evidence to a proposed project
  • Compare potential locations or design alternatives
  • Create a shareable screening record for review
Screen a project

Coexist Analyze

A screening record your team can actually inspect.

Coexist does not give a project a pass/fail score. It organizes available evidence, shows its limits, and makes the next conversation more specific.

Preliminary environmental screening

Evidence first. Professional judgment remains essential.

Not a permitting decision
  1. 01

    Evidence

    Available wildlife, habitat, water, protected-land, and wildlife-road records.

  2. 02

    Context

    The source, geographic scope, and data limitations behind each finding.

  3. 03

    Questions to investigate

    Traceable next questions for a project team and professional reviewer.

Planning options to explore with the right professionals

  • Confirm the final project footprint against the evidence
  • Compare feasible siting or alignment alternatives
  • Identify where field review or specialist input may be useful

Long Island Coverage

Built for all of Long Island.

Coexist is built to cover every town across Long Island, not just one. Our first real dataset comes from Port Washington, NY, and shows what happens when wildlife observations, habitat data, infrastructure, and local knowledge finally sit in one place.

Real

Base map geography, community-submitted observations, restoration and infrastructure project records, wetland and forest map layers near Port Washington, and every real data source behind Project Analysis

Illustrative

Road and stream map layers are still prototype content, standing in for surveyed GIS boundaries

Our approach

Built around transparency

Coexist makes the evidence, its limits, and the role of professional judgment visible—not hidden behind a single score.

  1. 01

    Sources named

    Every finding points back to the dataset or record that supports it.

  2. 02

    Prototype data labeled

    Illustrative layers are clearly separated from production-ready evidence.

  3. 03

    Confidence shown

    Scope, coverage, and limitations stay visible alongside the finding.

  4. 04

    Review remains essential

    Coexist supports professional judgment. It never replaces it.

Help shape wildlife-conscious planning.

If you plan, engineer, or care about what gets built where you live, your feedback can make Coexist more useful while it is still early enough to change.
