      <abstract>Rates of long-term and short-term shoreline change were generated in a GIS using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 3.0; An ArcGIS extension for calculating shoreline change: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2005-1304, Thieler, E.R., Himmelstoss, E.A., Zichichi, J.L., and Miller, T.M. The extension is designed to efficiently lead a user through the major steps of shoreline change analysis. This extension to ArcGIS contains three main components that define a baseline, generate orthogonal transects at a user-defined separation along the coast, and calculate rates of change (linear regression, endpoint rate, average of rates, average of endpoints, jackknife).</abstract>
      <purpose>Historical shoreline change is considered to be a crucial element in studying the vulnerability of the national shoreline.  These data are used in a shoreline change analysis for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Assessment Project.</purpose>

        <procdesc>A baseline was manually constructed seaward of, and parallel to, the trend of shorelines representing four general time periods (1800s, 1920s-1930s, 1970s, and 1998-2002).  Using DSAS, transects were generated with a spacing of 50m and transect-shoreline intersection points were saved to a separate layer.  Transects were manually eliminated to prevent calculation of rates in areas where less than four shorelines were intersected.  
Long-term rates of shoreline change, in units of m/yr, were calculated at each transect using linear regression applied to all four shoreline positions from the earliest (1800s) to the most recent (derived from lidar).  Linear regression was selected because it has been shown to be the most statistically robust quantitative method when a limited number of shorelines are available and it is the most commonly applied statistical technique for expressing shoreline movement and estimating rates of change.  Uncertainties for the long-term rates are also reported in units of m/yr and represent a 90% confidence interval for the slope of the regression line.  This means with 90% statistical confidence that the true rate of shoreline change falls within the range defined by the reported value plus or minus the error value.  The variability around the trend reflects both measurement and sampling errors.  Short-term rates of shoreline change, in units of m/yr, were calculated using the endpoint method comparing the 1970s and most recent shoreline position
