Description: The polygon represents the extent of inundation due to Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) under current conditions (year 2000) based on NOAA tide stations tide elevation data.

Description: The polygon represents the extent of inundation due to Mean Higher High Water (MHHW), after a 1.4 meter sea-level rise (scenario for year 2100), for the California coast (excluding the San Francisco Bay). The current inundation due to MHHW was based on NOAA tide stations elevation data (mhhw_2000 raster), to which 140 centimeters were added to the Z-value to generate this data.

Description: Interpreted modeled extent of erosion (erosion hazard zone) showing the effect of beach nourishment, armoring, and other erosion mitigation measures. All mitigation measures were modeled for year 2050 based on a "High" sea level rise scenario as described in USACE, 2011, Sea-Level Change Considerations for Civil Works Programs.

Description: Erosion reference line used to model the extent of erosion (erosion hazard zone) showing the effect of beach nourishment, armoring, and other erosion mitigation measures. The erosion reference line includes extent (width) of the hazard zone in US Feet of the modeled scenarios.
