This geospatial dataset is the output generated by applying the Maryland Shoreline Stabilization Model (SSM), a modification of the Virginia Shoreline Management Model (SMM), developed by the Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM), Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), in the tidal shoreline of Prince Georges County, MD. The application of the SSM has the purpose to enhance and streamline regulatory decision making in Maryland by identifying shoreline best management practices for tidal shoreline erosion control.<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

The SSM compiles twelve attributes from various databases: land use, shoreline structures, bank height, tidal marshes, beaches, fetch, roads, permanent structures, bathymetry, submerged aquatic vegetation(SAV), sensitive species, and federal navigation channels. They are all integrated through a series of model pre-steps, into one linear feature. The single file was then processed through a final model to produce 3 shoreline recommendations for tidal shoreline and adjacent upland banks (Living Shoreline, Structural Shoreline Stabilization Measure, and Undetermined). All processing steps occurred in ESRI\u2019s ArcProp versions 2.9 and 3, and ArcGIS Pro using Python scripts.<\/SPAN><\/P>

These data should be used to guide the decision making process on how best to manage an erosion problem. Recommendations are made without consideration of property length, ownership, or value. Treatment recommendations are based on models that utilize best available data which may not reflect the actual conditions present on the shoreline.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>
