Shoreline Mapping covers the collection of topographic elevations and hydrographic depths to monitor and determine the position and condition of the shoreline. These surveys typically extend several hundred meters (and sometimes as much as a kilometer) inland from the water line to several thousand meters offshore. Project lengths range from a few kilometers to thousands of kilometers along the shoreline. Such surveys are typically performed for beach replenishment studies and coastal zone erosion monitoring. These are most often conducted for national, state and local government agencies.
