Shoreline

This group of maps presents the layer depicting the shoreline and the land area of different islands collectively known as the Outer Islands of Pohnpei. It actually contains two datasets: the shoreline itself and the base layer. Both were created by Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) as part of the “Geospatial Information Development and Application to Support Effective Decision Making in the Federated States of Micronesia” project funded through the NOAA Sea Grant Coastal Storms Program (2014). The layers were digitized using 2013-14 WorldView-2 satellite imagery from MAXAR, formerly Digital Globe, provided by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
