Data were obtained from multiple data sources, including the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Shorelines were obtained from the original provider and merged into a single file in order to conduct shoreline change analysis for the open-ocean and estuarine shorelines of Barnegat and Great Bay, New Jersey. Purpose: The purpose of these data is for the calculation of shoreline change for estuarine and open-ocean shorelines of Barnegat and Great Bay, New Jersey.

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. Native_Data_Set_Environment: Environment as of Metadata Creation: Microsoft Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; Esri ArcGIS 10.3.1 (Build 4959) Service Pack N/A (Build N/A) Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: No formal attribute accuracy tests were conducted. Logical_Consistency_Report: Vector shoreline features and attributes were checked for completeness and accuracy. Completeness_Report: Dataset is considered complete for the information presented. Some dated shorelines do not have complete coverage over the entire study area (for example, 1839 shorelines were available for the estuarine shorelines of Long Beach Island, but not for the Barnegat Bay mainland region); however, this was acceptable as the analysis method accounts for the available dates only. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the dataset has not been conducted. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the dataset has either not been conducted, or is not applicable.

Process_Description: Data sets were obtained from the data source. Data were edited in ArcGIS (version 10.3) so that only the desired shorelines were included in the final data set. For example, historical shorelines derived from T-sheets (See Source Citation: NOAA PH-59, NOAA PH-72, and NOAA PH-72a) included lines for map boundaries and features not designated as shorelines. These features were deleted. Shorelines for the barrier island foreshore (open ocean facing shorelines), barrier island backshore (protected estuarine shorelines) and mainland were separated into different vector data sets. Once shorelines were edited and checked, all dated shorelines were merged into a single data set. Attributes were edited to include information regarding the date and source of the original data. Compiled shorelines were processed using the AMBUR (Analyzing Moving Boundaries Using R) statistical package for R (version 3.3.2) tool to add required missing attributes.
