    "descript": "Breton Island, Louisiana Baseline (Geographic, NAD83) consists of vector line data that were input into the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 4.0, which is computer software used to compute rate of change statistics. A baseline was acquired from the Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring Program (BICM) 2009 report (http:\/\/lacoast.gov\/reports\/project\/3890772~1.pdf). The baseline included in the BICM report covered the entire Louisiana coastline, so the baseline representing Breton Island had to be clipped then exported to a new shapefile named Breton_Baseline.shp. The position relative to Breton Island was determined to be the best possible baseline to use for the study. The baseline file was used to create the transect files, which are required by the DSAS program to calculate rate of change statistics.",
