1.This (Shoreline) is a component of the overall WIPWL datasets (Shoreline, RiversStreams, LakesReservoirs, and Estuary).
Each component should not be interpreted isolated from the other three datasets. 2. Please note that update years differ for
individual basins. 3. WIPWL basin updates vary in completion year. 4. WIPWL database is updated on a rotating schedule that
follows the statewide water quality monitoring program rotation. Information on the most recent basin update year is found
in the joined Assessment attribute table.
