Edited 2015 shoreline shapefile for Ship, Horn, Petit Bois, Mississippi

The 2015 Mississippi coastal shorelines were originally extracted from 2015 Landsat imagery and published within United States Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report (OFR) 2015-1179 (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151179). Shoreline files for Ship, Horn, and Petit Bois Islands were merged to a single shapefile and spatially adjusted using 2015/2016 USGS bathymetric survey tracklines (Dewitt and others, 2017) to more closely match island shoreline positions during USGS surveys.
