Within this shapefile describes the Gloucester_Water_Shoreline_withInterfaceCode_2025 shapefile. The Gloucester_Water_Shoreline_withInterfaceCode_2025 is a polyline shapefile; The boundary between the water and upland. Where there is marsh, it is the boundary between the marsh and water, if there is beach it is between beach and water (high tideline). This shoreline is not tidally referenced. This shoreline is used to run the fetch model for the Shoreline Management Model (SMM). It is the baseline on which the lubc (land use and bank condition) is coded. The attributes of the shapefile is explained in the Entity and Attribute Information section below. Prior to 2012 the method of collecting data for the shoreline inventory was different. In 2025 the primary methodology of collection was through remote sensing. These shape files will be modified yearly with the addition of updated locality inventories. The PubYear field denotes the publication year of the county inventory. The jurisdiction is listed in the NAME field. Digital shoreline inventories began in 1998. Over the years, the methodology for collecting the data, as well as what data is collected has changed.

VA 23062 jqgraulich@vims.edu US 804-684-7487 Jack Graulich All processing steps for the shoreline inventory were generated using ArcGIS Pro 3.4.x while viewing conditions observed using Google Earth Pro checking dates from 1985-2025 as well as imagery from Bing Maps and 2021 Imagery from the Virginia Basemap Program (VBMP) at a scale of 1:1000. Water Shoreline was created by digitizing aforementioned imagery This dataset is updated annually with new or updated inventories. Not all Virginia localities with tidal shoreline have an inventory. Polygons do not self intersect. Topology has been validated. There are no overlapping polygons, however, there may be small gaps between polygons.
