Abstract:
The 2007 islands shorelines were extracted as the zero meter elevation from process EAARL lidar data. The mainland used for this file is from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Services Center and is their composite vector shoreline downloaded from (<http://shoreline.noaa.gov/data/datasheets/composite.html>). The NOAA Coastal Services Center's composite shoreline is a high-resolution vector shoreline based on a multi-temporal collection of NOAA shoreline manuscripts (T-sheets). It is suggested that users refer to the source and date of the shoreline, since some areas of the U.S. are prone to erosion or accretion.
Purpose: To provide a shoreline as a geographical reference.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The NOAA mainland shoreline - The average accuracy of the measured benchmarks is 3.06 meters (10 feet), and this meets the National Ocean Service (NOS) guidelines for fixed aids to navigation and objects charted as landmarks. This accuracy is stricter than national standards and four times the accuracy of current U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000-scale topographic maps. Because of this, the original T-sheets can be assumed to also meet NOS guidelines and to be very accurate in their depiction of the shoreline that existed at the time of the surveys.
