Description:
Abstract:
The shoreline type project involved the identification and coding of the entire New Jersey shoreline within the Coastal Areas Facilities Review Act (CAFRA) zone from Keyport to Hieslerville. The data can be used to delineate different classifications of shoreline based on particular landforms.
Purpose: This data was created in order to delineate different classifications of shoreline based on partcular landforms.

A mylar manuscript was made for each FEMA map panel. The high velocity V line and road intersections were delineated on the mylar. Tics ids were identified at these intersections on the manuscript and orthophoto. The V line is defined as "Areas of 100 year coastal flood with velocity (wave action)." The manuscript mylars were scanned, vectorized and edited. The unique tics on the orthophoto were digitized and added to the transformation file for each panel. Each panel was then transformed and appended and checked to the photoquads.

Process Step:
Process Description:
Diapositive aerial photographs (1986 JSS series color infrared aerial photographs at a scale of 1:58,000) were placed over a light table and viewed through STS 95 Bausch and Lomb {SYMBOL 226 \f "Symbol"} zoom stereoscopes for inspection. 1986 orthophoto quadrangle were used as base maps. The 1986 shoreline delineations (taken from the NJDEPE GIS database) were plotted on mylar and placed over the base maps and set on light tables. As each shoreline was identified through the aerial photographs, its type was coded on the corresponding shoreline overlay using a red pencil. When the shoreline type changed, the differing shoreline types were separated by a hash mark. The features identified can be found in the Entity and Attribute section of this metadata record.
