Imagery of the New Jersey coastline was acquired from the New Jersey Geographic Information Network (NJGIN) as two images: \u201c1970 NJDEP Wetlands Basemap\u201d (1971-78) and the \u201c1977 Tidelands Basemaps\u201d (1977-78). These images are available as a web mapping service (WMS) through the NJGIN website (https://njgin.state.nj.us/NJ_NJGINExplorer/jviewer.jsp?pg=wms_instruct). To reduce digitizing error, the imagery was acquired on a hard drive from the NJGIN via personal communication. Using ArcMap 10.3.1, the \"1970 NJDEP Wetlands Basemap\" was used to delineate and digitize historical foreshore, backshore, mainland, and island shoreline positions, with the \u201c1977 Tidelands Basemaps\u201d being used to fill in missing shorelines and clarify areas of uncertainty from the 1970s imagery. These shorelines were digitized for use in long-term shoreline and wetland analyses for Hurricane Sandy wetland physical change assessment.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "http://coastal.er.usgs.gov/data-release/doi-F76T0JR7", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.1620ef8c-1a18-4ce5-820f-7192b5cb81e5.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_1620ef8c-1a18-4ce5-820f-7192b5cb81e5", "keyword": ["Absecon Bay", "Atlantic Ocean", "Barnegat Bay", "Great Bay", "Little Bay", "Little Egg Harbor", "Manahawkin Bay", "NJ", "New Jersey", "Reed Bay", "Shoreline data", "Shoreline map", "USA", "USGS:1620ef8c-1a18-4ce5-820f-7192b5cb81e5", "aerial photography", "boundaries", "coastal processes", "digitization", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "oceans"], "modified": "2020-10-13T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-74.577325105, 39.299815615, -74.041075153, 40.081196268", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Historical Shoreline for New Jersey (1971 to 1978): Vector Digital Data"}
