Description: This file classifies the coastline of the island of Newfoundland with a Shoreline Classification system which considers coastal geomorphology and sedimentology. The classification system used in this report is a modified version of that used by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in other regions of Newfoundland and Canada, including areas of eastern Newfoundland discussed in previous reports (Catto et al., 1997, 1999a, 2003; Catto, 1997). This system was initially based on the schemes proposed by Harper and Reimer (1991) for the Pacific Coast of Canada, and by SeaConsult Ltd. for the west coast of Newfoundland(Owens, 1993, 1994).The files contains up to three categories from the shoreline classification system at each point. For each point the following fields are included class number, category type (name), substrate (i.e. rock, rock and sediments, sediments), sediment (if present), width and slope***Update May 18th, 2014 *** This file has been dissolved to merge all of the line segements that are adjacent to each other and contain the same "FIELD4" values.
