Dataset developed by California Coastal Commission's Melanie Coyne by attaching names to a dynamically segmented coastline using the Department of Navigation and Ocean Development (DNOD) (now Department of Boating and Waterways) 1977 'Assessment and Atlas of Shoreline Erosion along the California Coast' by the State of California Resources Agency. The resulting shapefile only contained starting and ending reference units, coastal type, and common feature names. Previous name: coast_status.shp.USACE GIS Analyst found 'coast_condition.xls' in the CRSMIS Coastline folder that referenced the same starting and ending units used in Coyne's original shapefile. From the 'coast_condition.xls' the following fields were joined to Coyne's coast_status.shp: Ownership, Nearshore Description, Shoreline Description, Backshore Description, Development, Role in Littoral Cell, Orientation, Sediment Source, Current Beach Width (FT), Historical Beach Width (FT). It is assumed Coyne also developed the 'coast_condition.xls' spreadsheet. Reprojected to WGS 1984.Because of a nearly identical vector coastline, it is suspected that Coyne traced a version of the Environmental Sensitivity Index's coastline. |
