This data accompanies the NPS Natural Resource Report titled “Shoreline Length and Water Area in the Ocean, Coastal, and Great Lakes Parks (Second Edition): Updated Statistics for Shoreline Miles and Water Acres” <span style="font-family:inherit; color:rgb(0, 112, 192);"><a href="https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2299484" style="color:rgb(0, 97, 155); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:inherit;"><span style="font-family:inherit; color:rgb(0, 112, 192);">(</span><span style="font-family:inherit; color:rgb(0, 112, 192);">Winchell</span></a> et al., 2024)</span>, which is an update to the original report <span style="font-family:inherit; color:rgb(0, 112, 192);"><a href="https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2180595" style="color:rgb(0, 97, 155); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:inherit;"><span style="font-family:inherit; color:rgb(0, 112, 192);">(Curdts</span><span style="font-family:inherit; color:rgb(0, 112, 192);">,</span></a> 2011). </span>The goal of this project was to recalculate the number of shoreline miles and water area within each park unit using the best available data. Note: For park units located in marine settings, “water acres” refers to ocean, estuarine, and tidally influenced waters. For park units in the Great Lakes region, “water acres” refers to freshwater. For all park units, freshwater bodies such as lakes, ponds, and rivers that exist inland of the marine or Great Lake shoreline are excluded from the calculation. </span></p><p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:inherit; font-size:12pt;">Existing shoreline products from federal, state, and NPS sources were visually assessed for each park and compared to reference imagery within ESRI ArcGIS Pro to determine the best available data. The resulting shoreline delineation for each park was reviewed by NPS park, regional, national, and/or Inventory and Monitoring Network staff, and manual adjustments were made as needed to accurately reflect the shoreline. Park boundaries were </span><span style="font-family:inherit; font-size:12pt;">provided by NPS Land Resources Division (LRD) and are accessible via NPS DataStore (with a few exceptions as noted within the report)</span><span style="font-family:inherit; font-size:12pt;">. Shoreline miles and water acres within each park’s boundary were then calculated within a Geographical Information System (GIS) framework. These calculations were made based on the best-known data as of December 2022. </span></p><p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px;"></p><p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:inherit; font-size:12pt; color:black;">These shoreline miles and water acres statistics and associated geospatial data and maps are intended for general reference only; they are useful for describing the scale of NPS holdings and management responsibilities.
