Title: Potential 2050 Upland Interface Shoreline

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:

Purpose:

This line layer is the potential 2050 upland interface shoreline and represents the boundary between tidal waters and upland. Where tidal marshes exist, it is the upland edge of the tidal marsh (estimated to be 1.5m elevation in 2050); where marshes do not exist along the shoreline, it is the landward edge of the water (estimated to be a MHW elevation of 0.9m). Future projections were based on the NOAA 2017 Intermediate-High sea level rise curve for the year 2050.
This data layer was developed by the Center for Coastal Resources Management for a project to provide information on the projected location (extent and position) of certain RPA (resource protection area) features to inform resiliency assessments as required by CBPA (Chesapeake Bay Program Act) legislation and regulation. This layer is served on <http://adaptva.com/> and additional information can be found in a CCRM final report entitled "New Guidance to Build Resiliency and Mitigate for Sea Level Rise as Elements of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act" for NOAA Coastal Zone Management, November 2022. The report is available at https://scholarworks.wm.edu/reports/2839/.
