Where Can I Get Digital Shoreline Data Easily? |
|
Answer» The USGS Coastline Extractor is a source of detailed coastline data for the U.S. and the WORLD. You can use these data files in GNOME, but you will need to modify them to follow BNA format. We've created an online tool called GOODS to help you TRANSLATE the digital shoreline data to BNA format. The Coastline Extractor page also makes river locations and political boundaries available; however, you should CHECK that any political boundaries in your area of interest are up-to-date.
