Shoreline Mapping Program of Oregon Inlet, NC, NC0301

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline extracted from lidar derived digital elevation models of Oregon Inlet, NC This vector shoreline data is based on a specific tidal datum that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.
