Description:

Abstract:
Advisory: NJDEP is in the process of updating this metadata file to comply with the FGDC's Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). In order to make this data available immediately to the public, NJDEP is releasing it to the New Jersey Geographic Metadata Clearinghouse with the existing metadata. The updated metadata will be made available after the review and verification of the content of the metadata has been completed.

This shapefile depicts the coastline of New Jersey. It was interpreted using 1986 JSS CIR photography, using Baush Lomb 95 stereoscope to mylar overlays to the 1986 photo basemap. This is an unattributed line coverage.

Purpose: This shapefile was produced to provide a delineation of the coastline of New Jersey in a graphical format.

Process Description:
Coastline/shoreline interface interpreted using 1986 JSS CIR photography, using Baush & Lomb 95 stereoscope to mylar overlays to the 1986 photo basemap. Lines drafted with .3MM drafting pencil then reviewed by Principal Investigator. Integration, consistency, line placement checked. Final delineation inked with 3X0 Leroy pen. Line bifercates the coastline/shoreline interface.
