This data set complements a set of historical digital shorelines for the Maryland reaches of the Chesapeake Bay, the coastal bays, and the Atlantic coast. That data set spans the period 1841-1977. The two data sets will be used to update a series of Shoreline Changes maps and to determine coastal land loss, by watershed and by county, during the last half of the 20th century.Other State agencies will be able to use this data to analyze and update land loss information, analyze historical erosion trends, and assess the extent and magnitude of shore erosion on a regional geographic basis. In particular, the availability of up-to-date shoreline change data will support the design and implementation of shore protection projects and the development of a comprehensive shore erosion control plan.
