Description:
Abstract:
The 8 km of shoreline from Punta Higuero to Punta Cadena in Rincón, Puerto Rico is experiencing long-term coastal erosion. This study documents historical shoreline changes at Rincón for the period 1936-2005. Twelve historical shoreline positions were compiled from existing data, new orthophotography, and GPS field surveys.
Purpose:
The aerial photograph mosaic was created for use in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to digitize the historic high water line position of the shoreline. The shoreline vectors were compiled for use in the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) ArcGIS extension.

Process_Description:
The metadata was edited to remove errors as well as update some information. Edits include updating the citation section with the DOI link and a slight modification to the dataset title, added the USGS Thesaurus, added keywords section with USGS persistent identifier as theme keyword, replaced distribution liability with FSP statement. Other unrequired blank fields were deleted, duplicate entries within a field were deleted, required empty elements were fixed with “information unavailable from original metadata”. The metadata date (20070223), but not the contact (except email and contact instructions) was updated. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata available from the publication. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata available from the publication. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent. Fixed the spelling of the ISO thesaurus (20211116).
