Abstract:
The coverage icludes all beaches on the Hudson River, Long Island Sound and inland water bodies, whether they are open or closed to the public. This coverage was prepared for the County Department of Health.  
Data was updated August 2003 where it was possible.  Beach locations were spatially edited (moved) to be consistent with 2000 aerial photography .
Purpose:
The coverage is intended for general planning purposes only, and may not be appropriate for site specific analysis.
Supplemental_Information:
This coverage is in Arc/Info export format. Coordinate System - New York State Plane, FIPS zone: 3101 (Formerly East Zone 4801), Units: Feet, North American Datum 1983.
