The shoreline was created from data captured (digitized from scanned images of the master separates of the NOS Charts) from over 270 National Ocean Service Navigation Charts and spans some 80,000 nautical miles at an average map scale of 1:70,000. This product created by the Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) Division of NOAA's Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment comprises over 75,000 nautical miles of coastline (nearly 2.5 million vertices), representing the entire conterminous United States of America. Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, Puerto Rico, and all other interests and territories of the United States are not included in the collection. The dataset is designed for a broad target audience ranging from governmental agencies, universities and other research institutions, to the private sector, and students, as well as any other concern requiring a general purpose digital shoreline layer for GIS and cartographic projects. Purpose: The purpose of this dataset is to provide the NOAA medium-resolution shoreline as a basemap data layer for the area of interest. Supplemental_Information: Generally, 1:80,000 NOAA coast charts took precedence and were used when available. For areas where 1:80,000 charts were not readily available, charts with the next closest higher scale (e.g., 1:60,000) were used down to the highest scale available. Alternately, if higher scale charts were not available, charts of the closest lower scale (e.g., 1:100,000) were used down to the lowest scale. The digital shoreline for Florida was obtained from the state. This digital file was originally created from NOAA nautical charts and was not recreated by SEA. Generally, for these shoreline sections (EC80_06, GC80_05, and GC80_06), the highest scale charts available were used to digitize the shoreline. The resultant average mapping scale for the entire Medium Resolution Digital Vector Shoreline is approximately 1:70,000.

No additional checks on shoreline accuracy were performed. Completeness_Report: This dataset supplies the complete shoreline in the area of interest. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: According to NOAA, the data supplied here are a compilation of information collected from some 270+ current or pre-release National Ocean Service (NOS) Navigation Charts. In compiling this product we made no attempt to ascertain the congruency between the charted data and the real world. Our objective was to simply capture the representative coastline as provided to us via the NOS Chart. Every effort was made to capture the shoreline on these charts as faithfully as our skills and technology allowed, and there is every indication that we were successful. In doing so, however, we automatically conveyed the character (all aspects, both good and bad) of those data to our digital product. Because this character may or may not be in agreement with the real world, the user is advised to exercise caution in making any assumptions about the fallibility, or infallibility, of the spatial information supplied here, especially when circumstances warrant a high degree of absolute positional accuracy. Spatial data were derived directly from NOS Navigation Charts, which meet or exceed National Map Accuracy standards (hard copy); the digital data supplied in this compilation, when plotted at scale, should meet or exceed these same cartographic standards.
