A geodatabase was developed named Mathews_ShlInventory_NatBuffers_MarshCorridors_2025 containing the following eight features classes displaying bank conditions, shoreline features, natural buffers, and marsh migration corridors: Mathews_BankHeightSlope_2025, Mathews_RecreationalStructures_2025, Mathews_ErosionControlStructures_2025_Line, Mathews_ErosionControlStructures_2025_Polygon, Mathews_BeachesAndDunes_2025, Mathews_TMI_2025, Mathews_MarshMigrationCorridors_2ft_2025 and Mathews_MarshMigrationCorridors_4ft_2025This project was funded in part by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program at the Department of Environmental Quality through Grant # NA24NOSX419C0026 of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administratio
