In June of 2010 the DCM completed the first detailed digital estuarine shoreline to aid with examining DCM’s existing policy language within its estuarine and ocean system areas of environmental concern (AEC). The purpose of the project is to support numerous research ventures, creating inventories of shoreline and structure type, and quantifying shoreline mileage. The digital shoreline supports the DCM as well as other agencies involved in the management of estuarine environments. As new imagery becomes available DCM will continue to update the digital estuarine shoreline, and keep a current inventory of shorelines and structures as needed. <span style='font-family: "Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; overflow-wrap: break-word;'> The primary component of the <a href='https://files.nc.gov/ncdeq/Coastal%20Management/GIS/Data/ESMP%202012%20Report%20FINAL%2001302015.pdf' rel='nofollow ugc' style='color: rgb(0, 121, 193); font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;' target='_blank'>2012 Estuarine Shoreline Mapping Project (ESMP)</a> involves deciphering digital imagery for shoreline type and shoreline structures. During the first mapping effort DCM considered available imagery for heads-up digitizing to ascertain the best potential dataset. At that time, imagery for the entire coast did not exist, so each county was digitized using the most recent and highest resolution photography available. Imagery was used from years varying from 2003 to 2009 and pixel widths resolutions from 2-feet to 6-inch. This shoreline was mapped utilizing statewide 2012 6-inch pixel imagery, and serves as a snapshot of the coast and serves as the most accurate inventory of shoreline and structures. Heads-up digitizing was conducted by DCM staff following the same methodology set forth in “<a href='https://files.nc.gov/ncdeq/Coastal%20Management/GIS/Data/ESMP-20100115-Charting-the-Estuarine-Environment.pdf' rel='nofollow ugc' style='color: rgb(0, 121, 193); font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;' target='_blank'>Charting the Estuarine Environment: A methodology spatially delineation a contiguous, estuarine shoreline of North Carolina</a>.” After receiving feedback from users of the ESMP changes were identified to create a more complete and accurate digital shoreline. 2010-2012 North Carolina estuarine shoreline structures polygon (piers, docks, etc).
