Region of Interests (ROI), Transects, and Reference Shorelines for Three Sites of Western Long Island, New York

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: July 15, 2025 | Last Modified: 20250115
This data release provides tidally corrected shoreline positions for three sites of western Long Island, NY (Rockaway Peninsula, Long Beach, and Jones Beach Island). GeoJSON files are derived from CoastSeg version 1.1.35 (Fitzpatrick and others, 2024) with settings derived from config files. These files contain the region of interests (ROIs), transects, and reference shorelines for each section. CoastSeg collects satellite images from Google Earth Engine to create shoreline data along with user-supplied inputs based on the CoastSat methodology (Vos and others, 2019). Data have been tidally corrected based on beach foreshore slopes (Farris and Webber, 2024). Data can be viewed in a GIS software such as QGIS or ArcGIS.
