METADATA FOR UNDEVELOPED RIVERBANKS AND LAKE SHORELINES OF RHODE ISLAND


A.  Identification and Description

1.	RIGIS-CAT-ID	
2.	DATA-SET-IDENT	unhydro
3.	DISTRIB-NOTES	
4.	THEME-KEYWORDS	undeveloped riverbanks, undeveloped lake shorelines, habitat resources
5.	DATA-SET-DESC	Undeveloped riverbanks and lake shorelines of Rhode Island.  USGS 1:24,000 
hydrologic data, 1988 landuse data, and 1990 Census data were used to identify 
undeveloped riverbanks and lake shorelines.  River banks and lake shorelines 
with less than 40 persons per square km, 100% natural land, and at least 500m in 
length were considered to be undeveloped coastlines.
