Figure 4.1.  Aerial photograph showing historical shorelines from 1856 to 1983 around Waites Island and Little River Inlet.  Shore-normal transects (gray lines) starting at a baseline 500 m offshore (red line) and extending inland for 2000 m, were drawn every 25 m along the coast.  Where a transect intersected a former shoreline position (colored dots), the distance from the baseline was used to calculate the average rate of shoreline change over that time period.  See Figure 4.2 for location.
