Description: 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 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. This Shoreline Inventory report continues a process which updates and expands the earlier reports. Data collected reports conditions surveyed in the immediate riparian zone, the bank, and along the shoreline. This dataset is the result of combining the most recent digital shoreline inventories for Virginia.

Description: The Virginia Institute of Marine Science published the first Tidal marsh Inventories using data collected in the early 1970's. Using high resolution color infra-red imagery from 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2017 new Tidal Marsh Inventories have been developed beginning in 2010. Marsh boundaries were generated using heads-up digitizing techniques at a scale of 1:1,000. From 2010 through 2014 marsh polygons were classified by morphologic type: fringe, extensive, embayed, or marsh island. Beginning in 2015, morphologic classification was discontinued. Marshes were ground-truthed in the field where a community type index was assigned to each marsh based on plant community make-up.
