Shoreline characterization survey and hydrodynamic wave model data for north Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon (Florida, USA) as observed between 20171101 and 20180630 (NCEI Accession 0219917)

This spatial dataset contains a GIS shapefile of shoreline data collected in the field from November 2017 through June 2018 in Mosquito Lagoon and northern Indian River Florida. It also includes (1) wave climate data created through hydrodynamic modeling and frequency analysis of historic data, (2) model outputs of shorelines prioritized for stabilization/restoration, created by combining hydrodynamic data and shoreline data, and (3) model outputs of shoreline hydrodynamic habitat suitability for mangroves. Shoreline survey data were coupled with a hydrodynamic wave model to provide a more complete picture of forcing conditions in the study area. The likelihood of observing mangrove vegetation under a given wave climate was estimated using observed mangrove distributions and modeled wave heights, with results designed for use in restoration site selection. This project created a living shoreline restoration prioritization model and a mangrove hydrodynamic habitat suitability model for 180 miles of estuarine shorelines in north Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon.
