Summary
This dataset contains field topographic and bathymetric data measured during February to April 2019 across oyster castles and mud flats along the Chincoteague Living Shoreline, Virginia, where constructed oyster reefs (CORs, aka oyster castles) were installed to protect the shoreline and enhance habitat for oyster and other species.

Purpose
This dataset is used for the assessment of living shoreline structure (oyster castles) effects on wave, current velocity, and sediment dynamics. It can also be used for topographic and bathymetry data updates for fine resolution hydrodynamic and wave modeling along coastal shorelines.
