Shoreline Situation Reports (SSR) were first generated by VIMS in the 1970's to report the condition and status of the shore lands. The SSR series were published in hardcopy on a county by county basis for each of the Tidewater Virginia localities. The reports were intended to assist planners, managers, and regulators in decisions pertaining to management of coastal areas and natural resources therein. Data collected describes conditions in the immediate riparian zone, the bank, and along the shore. The City of Norfolk was last inventoried in 2002.

The Virginia Institute of Marine Science published the first Tidal marsh Inventories for the City of Norfolk in 1987 using data collected in the early 1970's. Using high resolution color infra-red imagery from 2009 and 2011 a new Tidal Marsh Inventory has been developed for 2014. Marsh boundaries were generated using heads-up digitizing techniques at a scale of 1:1,000. Each marsh polygon was classified by morphologic type: fringe, extensive, embayed, or marsh island. Marshes were ground-truthed in the field where a community type index was assigned to each marsh based on plant community make-up.
