Tidal Inlets, 2012-2015, North and Mid-Atlantic Coast, U.S.: .

Summary

This dataset represents the locations and names of tidal inlets open along the North and Mid-Atlantic coast. The data are part of the "Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Tidal Inlets in the U.S. Atlantic Coast Breeding Range of the Piping Plover (Charadruis melodus) as of 2015: Maine to North Carolina" project. Tidal inlets were located and identified using imagery from Google Earth (2015 and early 2016), U.S. Geological Survey iCoast and the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Imagery Program to identify inlets that were open in 2015. An inventory of the inlets was compiled with known habitat modifications recorded for each inlet using Microsoft Excel. Inlets that were historically open also were identified and [...]

Purpose

This dataset represents the locations and names of tidal inlets open along the U.S. North Atlantic coast from Maine through North Carolina. The inlets were identified as part of an inventory of habitat modifications to tidal inlet habitat within the U.S. Atlantic Coast breeding range of the federally-threatened piping plover. Inlets that were historically open also were identified and located where sufficient information existed to mark their approximate location on current maps. See the reports by T.M. Rice entitled Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Tidal Inlets in the U.S. Atlantic Coast Breeding Range of the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) as of 2015: Maine to North Carolina” (2016), "Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Tidal Inlets in the U.S. Atlantic Coast Breeding Range of the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) prior to Hurricane Sandy: South Shore of Long Island to Virginia" (2014) and "Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Tidal Inlets in the U.S. Atlantic Coast Breeding Range of the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) prior to Hurricane Sandy: Maine to the North Shore of Long Island" (2015) for a full methods description.
