<attrlabl>Feature</attrlabl>
<attrdef>Feature refers to a combination of land use in the immediate riparian area within 100 feet of the adjacent shoreline and best professional judgement when the infrastructure is setback on the parcel. Current land use: agriculture, bare, commercial, forest, grass, industrial, paved, residential, scrub-shrub and timbered.</attrdef>

<edomvds>VIMS Shoreline &amp; Tidal Marsh Inventory Glossary, Center for Coastal Resources Management</edomvds>
</edom>
<edom>
<edomv>Commercial</edomv>
<edomvd>Commercial is a land use classification denoting small commercial operations such as shops, restaurants, as well as campgrounds. These operations are not necessarily water dependent businesses.</edomvd>
<edomvds>VIMS Shoreline &amp; Tidal Marsh Inventory Glossary, Center for Coastal Resources Management</edomvds>
</edom>
<edom>
<edomv>Bare</edomv>
<edomvd>Land use defined as bare includes areas void of any vegetation or obvious land use. Bare areas include those that have been cleared for construction.</edomvd>
<edomvds>VIMS Shoreline &amp; Tidal Marsh Inventory Glossary, Center for Coastal Resources Management</edomvds>
</edom>
<edom>
<edomv>Timbered</edomv>
<edomvd>Timbered or clear-cut land use is an area where all the trees have been cut down or removed for harvesting or in preparation for construction.</edomvd>
<edomvds>VIMS Shoreline &amp; Tidal Marsh Inventory Glossary, Center for Coastal Resources Management</edomvds>
</edom>
<edom>
<edomv>Scrub-Shrub</edomv>
<edomvd>Scrub-shrub is a land use class that includes small trees, shrubs, and bushy plants. This land use is easily distinguished during remote sensing compared to "forested" and "grass".</edomvd>
<edomvds>VIMS Shoreline &amp; Tidal Marsh Inventory Glossary, Center for Coastal Resources Management</edomvds>
</edom>
<edom>
<edomv>Grass</edomv>
<edomvd>Grasslands include large unmanaged fields, managed grasslands adjacent to large estates, agriculture tracts reserved for pasture, and grazing. While a general rule of thumb will classify a tract as “grass” if a home sits behind a large tract of grass, a designation of “residential” may be made if there are similar tracts adjacent to each other. This designation can be determined using best professional judgment.</edomvd>
<edomvds>VIMS Shoreline &amp; Tidal Marsh Inventory Glossary, Center for Coastal Resources Management</edomvds>
</edom>
<edom>
<edomv>Marsh Island</edomv>
<edomvd>A marsh island is a vegetated wetland that is completely isolated from the mainland and found in open water. A marsh that is surrounded by water due to dissection from small tidal creeks was classifies as marsh, not marsh island.</edomvd>
<edomvds>VIMS Shoreline &amp; Tidal Marsh Inventory Glossary, Center for Coastal Resources Management</edomvds>
</edom>
<edom>
<edomv>Agriculture</edomv>
<edomvd>Land use defined as agricultural includes farm tracts that are cultivated and crop producing. This designation is not applicable for pastureland, which is coded as "grass".</edomvd>
<edomvds>VIMS Shoreline &amp; Tidal Marsh Inventory Glossary, Center for Coastal Resources Management</edomvds>
</edom>
<edom>
<edomv>Residential</edomv>
<edomvd>Residential land use includes single and multi-family dwellings.</edomvd>
<edomvds>VIMS Shoreline &amp; Tidal Marsh Inventory Glossary, Center for Coastal Resources Management</edomvds>

<edom>
<edomv>Industrial</edomv>
<edomvd>Industrial operations are larger commercial businesses and can include areas where power plants, pulp mills, refineries, etc. are in operation along the coast.</edomvd>
<edomvds>VIMS Shoreline &amp; Tidal Marsh Inventory Glossary, Center for Coastal Resources Management</edomvds>
</edom>
<edom>
<edomv>Paved</edomv>
<edomvd>Paved areas represent roads which run along the shore and generally are located at the top of the banks. Paved also includes parking areas such as parking at boat landing, or commercial facilities.</edomvd>

<attrlabl>Beach</attrlabl>
<attrdef>Beaches are persistent sandy shores that are visible during high tides. These features can be wide or thin lenses of sand. Beaches are coded as linear features at the wet/dry line to portray their location only. If a beach does not have a visible wet/dry line, then the line feature is located at the seaward edge of the beach. ‘Wide’ beaches have at least 10 feet of dry sand persistently visible above high tides. Beach features coded along tidal marsh shorelines are persistent, sandy features located on the water side of tidal marsh vegetation. Sand washed into tidal marshes is not coded as a beach if the marsh vegetation &amp;/or marsh edge is still clearly visible. This classification of beaches along tidal marsh shorelines can include professional judgment.</attrdef>

<attrlabl>Tree_fring</attrlabl>
<attrdef>When the dominant riparian land use is not forested, but a line of trees is maintained along the bank edge, the land use is noted to include a tree fringe. When the tree fringe is between 100 and 500 feet, it is considered a wide tree fringe. When the tree fringe is greater than 500 feet, it would be labeled "forested" in land use.</attrdef>

<idAbs>&lt;DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The shoreline inventory files have been generated to support the application of the Maryland Shoreline Stabilization Model (SSM), developed by the Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM), Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), to enhance and streamline regulatory decision making in Maryland. This shoreline inventory includes the features needed as inputs to run the LSSM. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The data developed for the Shoreline Inventory is based on a three-tiered shoreline assessment approach. This assessment characterizes conditions by using observations made remotely at the desktop using high resolution imagery (&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;most recent MD Six Inch Imagery at time of inventory) . The three-tiered shoreline assessment approach divides the shorezone into three regions: 1) the immediate riparian zone, evaluated for land use; 2) the bank, evaluated for height, and natural protection (i.e., marshes and beaches); and 3) the shoreline, describing the presence of shoreline structures for shore protection and recreational purposes.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</idAbs>

<suppInfo>There are three shapefiles associated with the Maryland shoreline inventory database: Maryland_lubc_2020_2023 (land use and bank cover), Maryland_astru_2020_2023 (access points), and Maryland_sstru_2020_2023 (shoreline structures). MD_lubcMaryland_lubc_2020_2023 is a linear shapefile containing data about land use, tree fringe, bank height, and sandspit along the shoreline. Maryland_astru_2020_2023 is a point shapefile with locations of docks, dilapidated docks, boathouses, and private and public boat ramps. Maryland_sstru_2020_2023 is a linear shapefile delineating hard structures in place at the shoreline (bulkhead, dilapidated bulkhead, riprap, wharf, unconventional, debris, marina &lt; 50 slips, marina &gt; 50 slips, jetty, marsh toe revetment, groinfield and breakwaters). </suppInfo>

<prcStep>
<stepDesc>The shapefiles use a base shoreline from the NOAA Continually Updated Shoreline Product (CUSP) and if necessary modified to reflect the land-water interface (shoreline) based on the latest Maryland 6-inch imagery at the time of the inventory processing.</stepDesc>
<stepDateTm>2016-11-04T00:00:00</stepDateTm>
</prcStep>
<prcStep>
<stepDesc>All processing steps for the shoreline inventory were generated using ArcGIS - ArcMap v10.6.1 or ArcPro v3.0.3 while viewing conditions observed on MD_SixInchImagery and Google Earth Pro (checking dates from 1994 to 2023). For the land use/bank cover shapefile, arcs were split and coded for land use, bank height, bank cover, tree fringe, and presence or absence of sandspit , marsh and beach. For the access structure shapefile, points were placed where structures (dock, dilapidated dock, boathouse, public ramp, and private ramp) are located on the shoreline. For the shoreline structure shapefile, arcs were coded for bulkhead, dilapidated bulkhead, riprap, unconventional, debris, wharf, breakwater, groinfield, jetty, marsh toe revetment, and marina &gt;50 slips and &lt;50 slips.</stepDesc>
<stepDateTm>2020-03-03T00:00:00</stepDateTm>

<stepDesc>QAQC was done by a different Scientist and the entire of shoreline was reviewed.</stepDesc>
<stepDateTm>2020-06-01T00:00:00</stepDateTm>
</prcStep>
<prcStep>
<stepDesc>As the Shoreline Inventory for a Maryland locality is completed, it is added to this composite feature layer. This Shoreline Inventory represents data processed from 2020 to 2023.</stepDesc>
