Description:
Abstract:
NOTE: Coastline of New Jersey was extracted from NJDEP's Rivers, Bays and Oceans data layer (shortname = njarea). The majority of descriptive information contained within this metadata record relates to the original source layer Rivers, Bays and Oceans.
The NJAREA source file contains generic water body information which was transferred from several sources to polygons extracted from the 2002 Land Use/Land Cover data sets.
Photo Interpretation of the 2002 color infrared (CIR) imagery and digitizing of the 2002 Land Use/Land Cover data was done by Aerial Information Systems, Inc., Redlands, CA, under direction of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Bureau of Geographic Information System (BGIS).
The data was created by extracting water polygons which represented Rivers, Bays and Oceans from the 2002 land use/land cover (LU/LC) layer from NJ DEP's geographical information systems (GIS) database.
The classification system used was a modified Anderson et al., 2002 classification system. Minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 1 acre; however, the data does contains ponds well below the MMU.
Purpose:
This data layer provides basic coastline data to be used in various GIS applications.
Supplemental_Information:
The following information is from the Rivers, Bays and Oceans metadata. Any additional documents can be obtained from that metadata record and/or zip file download:
A detailed discussion of specific procedures used to create this updated data set is included in UPDATE2002.DOC.
Users of this data are strongly urged to become familiar with the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) review documents, as well as others included below, before using the data set.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
NJDEP checked for delineation accuracy, connectivity, invalid attribute codes and corrected as identified.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
From the "Rivers, Bays and Oceans" layer:
Polygon topology exists. Nodes, lines, and areas conform to topological rules. Lines intersect only at nodes, and all nodes anchor the ends of lines. Lines do not overshoot or undershoot other lines where they are supposed to meet. There are no duplicate lines or polygons. Lines bound areas and lines identify the areas to the left and right of the lines. Gaps and overlaps among areas do not exist. All areas close.
Completeness_Report:
Selection Criteria:
The source NJAREA polygon layer was processed into a polyline file where the coastline data was extracted, including islands in the Delaware River. Attributes for Streams and Canals; Oceans; Tidal rivers, inland bays and other tidal waters were selected out of NJAREA. Data not relevant to coastline was removed.

Digital images were created from 1:40000 scale NAPP CIR images by USGS, referenced in UTM, NAD83. These images were then projected to New Jersey State Plane Feet Coordinates (NJSPF), NAD83, and compressed to JPEG images files. These NJSPF compressed files were used in the development of the this data set. The original images in UTM are available from the USGS website. The NJSPF versions are available from the NJDEP site. Both sites have online and CD distribution of these images.

Coastline data was extracted from the Rivers, Bays, and Oceans data layer (njarea).
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Photo interpretation of 2002 CIR digital imagery, interactive editing and initial QA/QC was done by Aerial Information Systems, Redlands, CA. Final QA/QC and final data formatting was done by NJDEP/BGIS. Data sets were processed and delivered by Watershed Management Area (WMA) and much of this coding was maintained in the Hydrography layers version
NJDEP/BGIS is committed to the development of Hydrography data, waterbody feature class which will meet the USGS National Hydrography Dataset standards.
Streams, Bays, Ocean and Bridge features were extracted from the Land Use/Land Cover 2002 data layer. Features were dissolved on COWARDIN codes and organized to conform to USGS NHDinGeo structure. Through a series of spatial and table joins, attributes were transferred from existing waterbody source data layers. These included USGS NHDinGEO NHDArea attributes and Name attributes from the Surface Water Quality Standards layer as well as earlier NJDEP Lake layers.
Discrepancies exist between these layers as well as published USGS Topographic maps. These will be evaluated and corrected in later versions. NJDEP/BGIS is working with USGS to get the COMIDS and REACHCODES transferred.
This product is an interim product subject to attribute correction.

Process_Description:
Only Coastline data extracted from Rivers, Bays, and Oceans (njarea) layer.
The NJAREA polygon layer was processed into a polyline file where the coastline data was extracted, including islands in the Delaware River. Attributes for Streams and Canals; Oceans; Tidal rivers, inland bays and other tidal waters were selected out of NJAREA. Data not relevant to coastline was removed.
The coastline boundary was then modified to match the updated 2008 NJ Boundary data along the NY/NJ border.
