CHARLOTTE HARBOR NATIONAL ESTUARY PROGRAM
SHORELINE SURVEY

• Creating a query to select the PI shoreline
  classes within a particular parcel.
• Step 1 Select the parcel you wish to evaluate.
• Step 2 Select from the shoreline data the
  shoreline segments that are within 90. The
  reason we have to use a distance at this point is
  because the shorelines are not necessarily
  reflective of the waterside extent of the
  parcels.
• Step 3 Display the results.

3 Questions posed by Jaime Boswell

• Question Number 1 How many parcels in Charlotte
  County have Trimmed Mangroves?
• Question Number 2 Where are the Mangrove
  Shorelines located that were Damaged the Most?
• Question Number 3 How many miles of shoreline in
  Pine Island Sound have been Hardened?

CHARLOTTE HARBOR NATIONAL ESTUARY PROGRAM
SHORELINE SURVEY

• QA/QC Plan
• Scheda Ecological Associates will perform an
  Accuracy Assesment where they will categorize 500
  randomly selected segments and then compare their
  results with ours. (There are 10,000 PI
  segments for the project area)
• Scheda will then capture 50 locations to field
  check to produce a final Photo Interpretation Key
  as well as use those sites to validate both their
  independent review as well as our total
  collection.
