Abstract
Shoreline Situation Reports (SSR) were first generated by VIMS in the 1970's to report the condition and status of the shore lands. The SSR series were published in hardcopy on a county by county basis for each of the Tidewater Virginia localities. The reports were intended to assist planners, managers, and regulators in decisions pertaining to management of coastal areas and natural resources therein. This is the first Shoreline Inventory Report for the Rehoboth Bay section of Delaware. Data collected describes conditions in the immediate riparian zone, the bank, and along the shore. There are three shapefiles that are part of the 2012 Rehoboth Bay, Delaware Shoreline Inventory database: Rehoboth_lubc, Rehoboth_sstru, and Rehoboth_astru. Rehoboth_lubc (land use and bank cover for Rehoboth Bay) is a linear shapefile containing data about land use, tree fringe, canopy overhang, bank height, bank cover, erosion, presence of Phragmites australis, marsh and beach status along the shoreline. Rehoboth_sstru (Rehoboth Bay shoreline structures) is a linear shapefile delineating hard structures in place at the shoreline (bulkhead, dilapidated bulkhead, riprap, wharf, unconventional, debris, marina < 50 slips, marina > 50 slips, jetty, marsh toe revetment, groinfield and breakwaters). Rehoboth_astru (Rehoboth Bay access structures) is a point shapefile with locations of docks, dilapidated docks, boathouses, and private and public boat ramps. Access report from the download tab.
