National Vector Shorelines

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other federal agencies

Details

  • Each shoreline has an associated data sheet that provides data specifications and access to the data.
  • Data access table provides a quick comparison of the various data sets based on some of the primary characteristics (application, scale, source, coverage, and tidal datum).

Notes and Limitations: Many of the vector shorelines are derived from the same raw data sources. Each shoreline was developed for a specific application. Understanding the purpose for which they were created is useful when selecting a shoreline for a particular use.
