Description:
Abstract:
This dataset provides an estimate of the lengths of levees and seawalls that would need to built or fortified to protect development along the California coast from a 100-year coastal flood event with a 1.4 meter sea-level rise.
Purpose:
To estimate the cost of building structures to protect from a 100-year coastal flood with a 1.4 meter sea-level rise.
Supplemental_Information:
Required protection strucutures were estimated as "necessary" based on flooding extents, generated by the Pacific Institute and Noah Knowles (USGS/SCRIPPS), overlaid on high resolution aerial imagery (NAIP 2005). For the open coast, seawalls were deemed necessary; for bays and protected waterfronts levees were deemed adequate. All structures were assumed to be protected while agriculture was allowed to be flooded.

Logical_Consistency_Report: The dataset is topologically correct.
Completeness_Report: Data set has been visually inspected.
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Necessity of protection was not surveyed at a local scale and therefore this dataset is only for estimating the length of levees and seawalls needed. Digitizing of levee lines was carried out at a 1:10,000 scale.
