NOAA SHORELINE MAPPING PROJECT

VGW Geospatial provided shoreline mapping services for the Coastal Mapping Program, collecting digital shoreline data in support of NOAA’s nautical charting program. Wilson & Company managed and executed all aspects of the project including aerial photography, GPS surveying, photogrammetric mapping, feature attribution, metadata, and GIS services. Color and tide-coordinated black and white, infrared aerial photography was acquired and GPS control surveys were conducted over the project area. Photogrammetric services include performing analytical aero triangulation and extracting the shoreline at both the MHW and MLLW tidal stages. In addition to the digital shoreline files, aids to navigation and landmarks features were collected. All features were attributed to the RSD Coastal Cartographic Feature Attribution Table (CCFAT).
