In 2002, NOAA published digitized shorelines for T-sheet (T-1097), which were subsequently edited by USGS staff for input into the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) Version 4.0, where area and shoreline change analyses could be conducted. Purpose: Shoreline data are considered a crucial element in performing change analysis for erosion and accretion studies and for tracking shoreline movement over time. Aerial imagery was downloaded and used to document the short and long-term changes of several barrier island systems in Louisiana. Digitized shorelines from the imagery provide an accurate and measurable change in shape, area, and shoreline movement over short and long-term periods.

USFWS is the project lead for the North Breton Island Barrier Island Restoration project. Acknowledgment of the U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, as a data source would be appreciated in products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices. Sharing of new data layers developed directly from these data would also be appreciated by the U.S. Geological Survey staff. Users should be aware that comparisons with other datasets for the same area from other time periods may be inaccurate due to inconsistencies resulting from changes in photointerpretation, mapping conventions, and digital processes over time.

Dangles (or extra line segments) were removed, as necessary. The shorelines were split into foreshore and backshore, based on a visual assessment. Completeness_Report: Shorelines that did not represent the main shoreline of Breton Island, such as the Chandeleur Islands or the Mississippi River Delta were removed. To ensure accuracy, edited shorelines were compared to those shown on the Breton Island, LA T-sheets created from 1922-2014, as a method for maintaining consistency between which islands were removed from each of the shoreline datasets.

Process_Step: Process_Description: In 1869, T-sheet maps were created for Breton Island, Louisiana. Shorelines were digitized by the NOS from T-sheet number T-1097 and are projected to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 16, North American Datum (NAD) 1983, meters (m) coordinates. Shorelines and boundary lines that did not represent the main shoreline of Breton Island were removed by USGS staff, as necessary, using the ArcMap 10.2.2 editor toolbar. The main Breton Island shorelines were then split at the northern most point and the southern most point to create a foreshore and backshore shoreline. In addition, the following fields were added to the shoreline’s attribute table and calculated as necessary: "UNCERTAINT" (double), "DATE_" (Text/10), "Shoreline_" (Text/20), and "Year" (Text/10).
