'''The Washington State ShoreZone Inventory describes physical and biological characteristics of intertidal and shallow subtidal areas along Washington State 's saltwater shorelines. This synoptic inventory includes more than 50 habitat characteristics, including physical features such as shoreline type, vegetation types such as kelp and eelgrass, and anthropogenic features such as bulkheads. It has been used in a wide range of planning and research projects.'''

==Notes==
*The first complete shoreline survey. Flown in 1996-97 by helicopter with observers and video.
*Includes higher resolution physical and biological attributes than any successive survey.
*[[File:Berry et al 2001 shorezone users manual.pdf]] provides an overview of the dataset.
*[[Dethier 1990]] defines a shoreline classification system that is included in the linework
*Shorezone establishes the DNR shoreline that was later used by [[PSNERP]] ad [[File:McBride et al 2009 nearshore habitat geomorphic classification.pdf]] and [[File:MacLennan et al 2017 beach strategies phase one summary.pdf]].
*[[File:WDNR 2001 shorezone data dictionary.pdf]] describes the data structure of the shorezone data.
