    • Shoreline delineations for 21 Subestuaries in the Chesapeake Bay 2010-2014

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    In many coastal regions throughout the world, there is increasing pressure to harden shorelines to protect human infrastructures against sea level rise, storm surge, and erosion. These data reflect the digitization of the shorelines of 21 subestuaries throughout the Chesapeake Bay as observed from 2010 through 2014. Shorelines segments are classified into one of seven shoreline types: bulkhead, riprap, developed, natural marsh, Phragmites-dominated marsh, sandy beach, and forest. These data were collected as part of a larger effort to understand the impacts of shoreline hardening on waterbird community integrity.
