Maps & Data :: Erosion Rate Maps (1992 Shoreline) |
Using current and historical aerial photography and sophisticated computer software, the Division of Coastal Management evaluates erosion rates about every five years. The small-scale maps below can provide information about oceanfront erosion rates for every section of the North Carolina coast, from the South Carolina border to the Virginia border. They are based on aerial photographs taken in 1992. Maps containing updated erosion rates based on 1998 aerial photography are available here. NOTE: Because of their small size, these maps should not be used to determine the exact erosion rate at a specific property, but they can provide a general picture of long-term shoreline changes. To find out the erosion rate for a specific area of the coast, contact the Coastal Management office nearest you.
