ShoreZone is a coastal habitat mapping and classification system in which
georeferenced aerial imagery is collected specifically for the interpretation and
integration of geological and biological features of the intertidal zone and nearshore
environment. The mapping methodology is summarized in Harper et al (2013).
This data summary report provides information on geomorphic and biological
features of 2,633 km of shoreline mapped for the 2011 coastal survey of Oregon.
The habitat inventory is comprised of 3,223 along-shore segments (units), averaging
817 m in length (based on the CUSP_OR shoreline).
