Partnering with the community to map Virginia’s shoreline features
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) has been developing Shoreline and Tidal Marsh Inventories since the 1970’s. These inventories assess conditions along tidal shorelines. They provide important baseline information to support shoreline management and improve the decision-making capacity of many stakeholder groups.
MapMyShore v1.0 is an application that allows the community to assist VIMS with collecting and ground-truthing shoreline inventory features critical to natural and cultural resources.
