SECN Monitoring [Current]: Shoreline Change

Boyle M . SECN Monitoring [Current]: Shoreline Change. 2014. National Park Service

The shoreline monitoring protocol is implemented at the following parks: Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Cape Lookout National Seashore, Cumberland Island National Seashore, Canaveral National Seashore, Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, and Fort Matanzas National Monument. To collect shoreline surveys, a Global Positioning Systems (GPS) or Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is used to document the neap-tide high-tide shoreline position. The survey window for SECN data collection will be six to eight weeks during the spring. Fall shoreline surveys will be collected opportunistically as conditions permit. The modifications further detailed in the protocol implementation plan will allow SECN to maintain a long-term workload and meet our parks needs of documenting quantifiable shoreline change.
