Shorelines of the southern North Carolina (NCsouth) coastal region used in shoreline change analysis
Sandy ocean beaches are a popular recreational destination, often surrounded by communities containing valuable real estate. Development is on the rise despite the fact that coastal infrastructure is subjected to flooding and erosion. As a result, there is an increased demand for accurate informatio...
