2 Virginia Shoreline Mapping Tools Historic & Contemporary Shoreline Inventory Program Virginia Shoreline Management Policy Drivers Shoreline Management Model Mapping Tool Development Lessons Learned & Next Steps

3 Mandated Coastal Management Roles for Commonwealth of Virginia Collect scientific evidence of coastal conditions Engage in research & provide training & technical assistance relating to tidal shoreline erosion Continuously maintain & update an inventory of vegetated wetlands (tidal marshes) Develop guidance for local governments that fosters sustainability of coastal resources Source: Code of Virginia

4 Historical Shoreline & Tidal Marsh Inventories 1970 s & 1980 s Completed for each coastal locality Field intensive Paper maps Digital conversion 1974

5 Contemporary Shoreline Inventory Updates 2000 present ongoing program Mainly remote sensing, some field verification Digital format Mapped Features Riparian land uses along tidal shorelines Bank conditions Bank height & vegetation cover Natural features that provide erosion & water quality protection Tidal marshes, beaches, riparian forests Shoreline access structures Piers, boat ramps Shoreline protection structures Bulkheads, revetments, marsh sills, breakwaters Cumulative shoreline hardening miles Partially funded by

6 Contemporary Tidal Marsh Inventory Updates Remote sensing to generate marsh polygon areas Field surveys by boat to verify dominant plant communities Low & high marsh Salt brackish freshwater marshes Establishing geo-referenced baseline for future change analyses

7 Virginia Shoreline Management Policy Drivers Scientific understanding of shoreline hardening Mapped extent of shoreline hardening + measurable adverse ecological effects Slow response in regulatory program decisions Shoreline management advisory service needs to be in front of the regulatory process Decision Tree Series Shoreline Management Model Living shorelines web site Comprehensive Coastal Resource Management portal, easy access to multiple resources Legislative policy amendments Local government comprehensive plans must include VIMS guidance Living shorelines are preferred stabilization alternatives Living shorelines general permit authority granted

8 Self-Guided Decision Trees site-specific assessment with recommendations that reflect living shorelines preference 1. Undefended Shorelines & Failed Defense Structures 2. Currently Defended Shorelines different decision tool for each structure type Questions about shoreline conditions Answers Recommendations

9 Self-Guided Decision Tree Undefended Shorelines Upland Recommendations + Shoreline Recommendations User Manual Decision Tree

10 Self-Guided Decision Trees Currently Defended Shorelines Also Existing Groins Marsh Sills Breakwaters

11 Shoreline Management Model A GIS spatial model that determines appropriate practices using decision tree logic over large geographic areas GIS data input from shoreline & tidal marsh inventories + other available data sources

12 Online Tool Delivery 45 Cities & Counties

13 Locality-Specific Portal Example

14 CCRMP Comprehensive Map Viewer Multiple data layers Standard map functions Zoom tools Information/Help Find Address Measure Various base maps & imagery Shoreline & Tidal Marsh Inventory Results

15 CCRMP Comprehensive Map Viewer Display Example

16 Customized functions Click on features to identify River system pie charts Print maps or create pdf Comprehensive Map Viewer

17 Shoreline Management Model Output Results for this location

18 Mapping Tool Promotion & Training Direct locality communication upon release Easy to find web site links in multiple locations Quarterly e-news & annual workshop reminders Invited lectures Customized training sessions Support other campaigns & mapping tools e.g., Virginia Eastern Shore Coastal Resilience Decision Support Tool

19 Main Lessons Learned Some users are overwhelmed by all the data in map viewers Create specific applications & familiar case studies that help them do their jobs Leave out extraneous data layers Multiple, similar mapping tools can be confusing Provide simple descriptions to explain differences and applications Provide frequently asked questions answered by each tool Lose trust when model & map limitations are not apparent Not all relevant shoreline characteristics can be captured in GIS data Mapping tools will never replace need for site visits & professional judgements Shoreline inventory is snapshot, be willing to commit to updates

20 Next Steps for Virginia Shoreline Mapping Tools Update shoreline management model Import available natural resource data, e.g., productive shellfish areas, submerged aquatic vegetation Include currently defended shorelines - 2 nd attempt Solicit more user feedback about map tool utility Incorporate feedback into map displays

21 In cooperation with Virginia s Floodplain Management Program Other Virginia Mapping Tools Evidence-based planning for climate change For illustration only
