Inventory of Coastal Engineering Projects in Coastal National Parks
Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC. 2011. Inventory of Coastal Engineering Projects in Coastal National Parks
Geographic (GIS) database associated with the inventory of coastal engineering projects in coastal national parks. The data represents an analysis and inventory of coastal engineering projects in, and immediately adjacent to, ten coastal national parks. Geographic Informations System (GIS) data is delivered in a WinZip (zip) archive file. There is a summary file with data for all parks and individual files with data for each park in the inventory. GIS data are provided as an ESRI 9.3 file geodatabase (.gdb). In addition to the GIS data, the WinZip files also contain the following files: FGDC-compliant metadata (.xml), a table attribute file (.pdf) that contains table attribute descriptions, and a Readme file with general information (.pdf). PDF maps which show the engineering projects that have been completed in each park are also available to download.
