Julia Heslin, USGS, updated the study area map.
Coastal erosion is a national hazard with long-term economic and social consequences. The position of the shoreline is one of the principal sources of information for local, state, and federal government agencies charged with managing coastal erosion. This measure of the shifting land/water interface is critical for quantifying impacts due to coastal storms and for understanding long-term coastal change. The SWASH system was developed by the USGS in response to a significant need for a surveying system that could provide an inexpensive, repeatable measure of shoreline position over large sections of coast within a single low tide period.
