Shoreline Mapping Program: High-Resolution Vector Shoreline for Port of Pensacola, FL

High-resolution vector shoreline data for the Port of Pensacola, Florida, compiled from imagery. The data is structured using the NGS-developed C-COAST attribution scheme to facilitate translation into international hydrographic standards. This resource is a member of a larger NOAA shoreline data collection.

Use Cases

• GIS layer creation for coastal planning based on the high-resolution vector shoreline.
• Port infrastructure analysis using the accurately interpreted shoreline geometry.
• Data standardization and translation workflows leveraging the C-COAST attribution scheme.
