NCCOS Assessment: Long-term monitoring of Living Shoreline Sill, Vegetation, and SET data in Pine Knoll Shores, NC, 2004-10-22 to 2025-04-23 (NCEI Accession 0306500)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 05:08 AM | Dataset Last Updated: July 29, 2025 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains long-term monitoring data collected at the Pine Knoll Shores Sill as part of a larger effort to monitor local fringing marshes in Carteret County. The monitoring data is stored in four .csv files, one .tif file, one .aux file, and two pdfs. The .csv files contain vegetative community and SET data. The .tif file consists of an ortho mosaic image, captured using a Mavic 3M drone, in 2025. The .aux file and SiteReport.pdf are files associated with the ortho mosaic. The routine vegetation surveys were conducted starting in 2008 to monitor change in the vegetative community composition and total cover at fixed plots. Prior to the vegetation surveys, four surface elevation tables (SETs) were installed in 2004 and elevation changes over time were tracked with millimeter scale resolution.
