The Pacific Islands Geographic Information System (GIS) project is a multiyear initiative designed to increase the use of GIS and related spatial technology in the coastal resource management programs of the Territories of American Samoa and Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the State of Hawaii. The project will focus on personnel, training, equipment, software, data, and applications. Where appropriate, other related activities in the region will be incorporated into the effort.

Note - Areas of the shoreline that were obscured by cloud cover were digitized from USGS Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs). The USGS DRG for Manua had to be adjusted in the x and y directions using ERDAS Imagine 8.5 to match the IKONOS imagery.

The data were created by delineating the shoreline off of IKONOS panchromatic digital satellite imagery collected in 2001. The horizontal resolution of the digital imagery is 1 meter. The original scale of the imagery was 1:3780. During orthorectification of the IKONOS imagery, 60 ground control points were used to determine the circular error (CE) at a 90% confidence level. For Pacific Islands, Tutuila, American Samoa, IKONOS data, 2001 the circular error is 2.7 meters for the Panchromatic data set.
This shoreline dataset of Tutuila is dependent on the shoreline as delineated on 2001 IKONOS digital satellite imagery from Space Imaging, LLC. The position of the shoreline might change as the natural land changes or better maps and more current aerial photography become available.
These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. All arcs were snapped by the nodes to create consistently tied strings without node dangles. Line geometry is topologically clean.
