- Abstract:
-
The shoreline inventory files have been generated to support the application of the Living Shoreline Suitability Model (LSSM), developed by the Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM), Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), to enhance and streamline regulatory decision making in Maryland. This shoreline inventory includes the features needed as inputs to run the LSSM. The data developed for the Shoreline Inventory is based on a three-tiered shoreline assessment approach. This assessment characterizes conditions by using observations made remotely at the desktop using high resolution imagery (MD Six Inch Imagery 2016/2017) . The three-tiered shoreline assessment approach divides the shorezone into three regions: 1) the immediate riparian zone, evaluated for land use; 2) the bank, evaluated for height, and natural protection (i.e., marshes and beaches); and 3) the shoreline, describing the presence of shoreline structures for shore protection and recreational purposes.
- Purpose: To inventory Maryland's tidal shoreline conditions.

These data should not be used for jurisdictional permit determinations beyond providing general shoreline condition or status information. These data have not been surveyed to property boundaries.The Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM) at VIMS performs a service by distributing data generated by either CCRM or public agencies, which offer data without restriction or charge. CCCRM assumes no responsibility for data accuracy or precision, metadata completeness or correctness for digital information. CCRM assumes no liability for misuse of any data which may arise as a result of any alteration, conversion, or combination with other data sources. As well, the timeliness and scale of these products must be considered when evaluating appropriate use.

The shoreline used to create the shapefiles for Maryland is the dataset created in conjunction with the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area remapping project) This shoreline was published in 2016

-
- Process_Description:
-
All processing steps for the shoreline inventory were generated using ArcGIS - ArcMap v10.6.1 while viewing conditions observed on MD_SixInchImagery and Google Earth Pro (checking dates from 1994 to 2018). For the land use/bank cover shapefile, arcs were split and coded for land use, bank height, bank cover, tree fringe, and presence or absence of spit , marsh and beach. For the access structure shapefile, points were placed where structures (dock, dilapidated dock, boathouse, public ramp, and private ramp) are located on the shoreline. For the shoreline structure shapefile, arcs were coded for bulkhead, delapidated bulkhead, riprap, unconventional, debris, wharf, breakwater, groinfield, jetty, marsh toe revetment, and marina >50 slips and <50 slips.

- Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
-
In this survey, a dock or pier is a structure, generally constructed of wood, which is built perpendicular or parallel to the shore. These are typical on private property, particularly residential areas. However, there are exceptions where they are used in working waterfront communities, and may be disconnected from the shore. In general docks provide access to the water, a mooring for vessels, and a venue for recreational activities. They are mapped as point features. Pier length is not surveyed.

-
Boat ramps are used to launch vessels of all types. They are usually constructed of concrete, but wood and gravel ramps are also found. Point identification of boat ramps does not discriminate based on type, size, material, or quality of the launch. This inventory attempts to distinguish, when possible, private versus public ramps. Ramps located in privately owned, commercial marinas and residential communities are classified as private

- Enumerated_Domain_Value: Boathouse
- Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
-
A boathouse is considered any covered structure alongside a dock or pier built to cover a boat. They include true “houses” for boats with roof and siding, as well as awnings that offer only overhead protection. Since nearly all boathouses have adjoining piers, piers are not surveyed separately, but are assumed. Boathouses may be difficult to see in aerial photography.

- Enumerated_Domain_Value: Community Dock
- Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:
-
In this survey, a dock or pier is a structure, generally constructed of wood, which is built perpendicular or parallel to the shore. These are typical on private property, particularly residential areas. However, there are exceptions where they are used in working waterfront communities, and may be disconnected from the shore. Community Piers are commonly longer piers with fewer than 50 slips located in a residential development. Community piers with more than 50 slips are coded as a line feature (see Marina definition). In general docks provide access to the water, a mooring for vessels, and a venue for recreational activities. They are mapped as point features. Pier length is not surveyed.
