Uploaded by Conservation Biology Institute

Open in Map

Description:: The Base Flood Elevation, representing the elevation of the 100-year coastal flood, is derived for the entire California coastline. Elevation data is in NAVD88, rounded to the nearest half foot. Euclidean Allocation was used to extrapolate the elevations from the BFE line 10 kilometers inland from the coast. This dataset covers the California coastline from Monterey Bay south to the Mexico border.
