Coastal Mapping Program of Pagan Island: High-Resolution Shoreline Vector Data

High-resolution vector shoreline data for Pagan Island, MP, compiled from office interpretation of imagery. The data uses the NGS Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST) attribution scheme, influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 standard. This resource is a member of a larger NOAA data collection, last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Coastal change detection based on high-resolution shoreline vectors.
• GIS layer creation for maritime navigation and planning based on the described shapefiles.
• Data standardization and translation projects based on the C-COAST attribution scheme influenced by S-57 standards.

Strengths

• Data is described as 'accurate high-resolution shoreline' compiled from imagery.
• Attribution follows a structured scheme (C-COAST) influenced by an international hydrographic standard.
• Last updated on 2026-03-13, indicating recent maintenance.
