Region of interests (ROI), transects, and reference shorelines for five groin field sites around the United States

This data release provides the region of interest (ROI), transects, and the reference shoreline for five groin field sites of around the United States (Ventura, CA, Newport Beach, CA, Santa Monica, CA, Long Branch, NJ, Sandwich, MA). GeoJSON files are derived from CoastSeg version 1.2.16. (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. Data can be viewed in a GIS software such as QGIS or ArcGIS.
