Description:

Abstract:

Shorelines were derived from the U.S. Geological Survey Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center high-resolution orthorectified images collected on October 01, 2008. This dataset contains digitized shorelines created from the USGS imagery for Breton Island, Louisiana. Shorelines were digitized in ArcMap 10.2.2 so they could be used for area and shoreline change analysis, using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) Version 4.0.

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.

Funds for this report are part of project funds for the Louisiana Outer Coast Early Restoration Project, obtained by the natural resource trustees for the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, pursuant to the Framework for Early Restoration Addressing Injuries Resulting from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill executed April 20, 2011. 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. These data are not legal documents and are not to be used as such.

Data_Quality_Information:

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Vectorized shorelines were checked to ensure they were one continuous line. Dangles (or extra line segments) were removed, as necessary. The shorelines were split into foreshore and backshore, based on a visual assessment.

Completeness_Report:

To ensure accuracy, digitized shorelines were compared to those shown on the Breton Island, LA T-sheets created from 1922-1950, as a method for maintaining consistency between which areas were digitized from each of the shoreline datasets.

Aerial imagery was used to identify the mean high water (MHW) location for shoreline delineation and digitization.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

High resolution orthorectified imagery was collected over Breton Island, Louisiana on October 01, 2008. They are projected to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 16, North American Datum (NAD) 1983, meters (m) coordinates. To digitize the shorelines, the aerial imagery was added to ArcMap 10.2.2. Using the ArcMap editor toolbar, shorelines were digitized based on aerial imagery. Shorelines were digitized based on a visual assessment of shoreline locations within the imagery at a scale of 1:1500. In addition to the Breton Island shoreline, smaller islands within 50 meters were also digitized. When available, oblique aerial images were used as a guide to check the digitized shoreline for accuracy and any errors were corrected accordingly. The main Breton Island shorelines were then split at the northern most point and the southern most point to get 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).
