This data set shows the type of shoreline at any given point along the western shoreline of Kitsap County.
This data set was developed to show or describe the type/s of shoreline at any given point along the western shoreline of Kitsap County.
This data was developed as part of the GPS field inventory for the Kitsap County Nearshore Inventory Program for West Kitsap during the summer of 2008.

Kitsap County Nearshore Inventory Program
Field data collection was accomplished with a Trimble GeoXM field data collector. This model is stated to provide 1 to 3 meter accuracy when the PDOP (Position dilution of precision) value is below 6, with a minimum of 4 satellites in view, above 15 degrees of the horizon. Varying by feature type, 4% - 13% of the data collected fell outside of this PDOP range. During data collection, a wide variety of conditions are encountered that can block the signal for short periods, or reduce the number of satellites found. These conditions include steep slopes along the shore, heavy forested shorelines, and tall urban development.
Inventory data was collected in the field between June 19, 2008 and October 16, 2008. Project area consisted of West Kitsap County shorelines, from FoulWeather Bluff in the north to the Kitsap County boundary. Data collection was accomplished with a Trimble GeoXM GPS data collector, and a field crew of two. Daily downloads of collected data occurred using Trimble's Pathfinder Office 3.10 software

ESRI
High Bank/Bluff: The rising ground bordering the water, more than 10ft.
Spit, barrier and backshore is wide, wide beach face
Marsh/Lagoon/Estuary: Protected embayments often with fluvial sediment sources (streams, rivers): substrate is composed of fines; salt marsh vegetation; lagoons/estraruies may empty completely at low tide and may have a residual basin that holds water at low tide.
Foreshore often bedrock with veneer of other substrata on top; raised terraces with bedrock classified as rocky if shoreline characterized by little sediment movement.
Pocket Estuary: A semi-enclosed coastal body of water which has free connection with the open sea and within which salt water is measurably diluted with fresh water from land drainage
