CoastErosionCheck: The Coastline, Transect by Transect

Field notes

The tool organizes USGS shoreline-change transects into named coastal stretches rather than presenting a single national erosion figure. Its examples include Golden Meadow, Louisiana at 36.26 feet per year eroding and Ocean Shores, Washington at 12.13 feet per year growing. Coverage spans five surveyed U.S. regions, with regional survey dates stated separately; the site also notes that a “no significant trend” result means movement fell within the survey’s margin of error.
