GrandBay_2012_Shoreline.shp - Grand Bay, Mississippi/Alabama, Shoreline Data Derived from 2012 Aerial Imagery

Description

GrandBay_2012_Shoreline.zip features a digitized historical shoreline for the Grand Bay, Mississippi (MS) coastline (Pascagoula, MS to Bayou La Fourche Bay, Alabama [AL]) derived from 2012 aerial imagery. Imagery of the Mississippi and Alabama coastlines was acquired from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). Using ArcMap 10.3.1, the imagery was used to delineate and digitize a coarse historical shoreline as either proximal Wet Dry Line along sandy beaches or proximal vegetation edge along the marsh coastline at a scale of 1:2000 or 1:6000.
