Land Conservation Council broad coastal habitat classes

dataset: LCC_COASTAL_CLASSIFICATION
This polygon layer identifies shoreline types and habitats in the coastal and shallow subtidal region. The polygon extents are defined by a buffer of the coastline. The layer is based on a map created by Natural Resource Systems for the Land Conservation Council as part of its Marine and Coastal Special Investigation. Shoreline classifications and boundaries in the LCC map were further refined through a comparison with other data sources for the coast. Shoreline categories were defined on the basis of the information requirements of oil spill contingency planning and response personnel.

Statement
Dataset Source: The layer is based on the coastal and marine habitat map produced by Natural Resource Systems for the Land Conservation Council Marine and Coastal Special Investigation in 1993. Dataset Originality: Primary 
Description
Collection Method: interpretation of primary mapped data and descriptive reference sources 
Description
The LCC layer was produced by generating a single buffer polygon of the coastline. This buffer polygon was then broken up into polygons representing the different coastal and marine habitats found along the coast, primarily on the basis of topographic mapping.
