    • NOAA Composite Shoreline - Vectorized Shoreline Derived From NOAA-NOS Coastal Survey Maps and Aerial Photographs

    Metadata Updated: March 15, 2024

    The NOAA Composite Shoreline is primarily intended for high-resolution cartographic representation of the shoreline. It is a high-resolution vector shoreline based on a multi-temporal collection of NOAA coastal survey maps (T-sheets). Where T-sheets were unavailable, NOAA's extracted vector shoreline (EVS) was used to compile seamless shoreline coverage.
