Based on that measurement a single sided buffer was generated contiguous to the Coast for the AOR. The buffer was manually edited to include some areas that fell outside the buffer distance, specifically in Northern North Carolina and around Mobile Alabama. The Union tool was then used in ArcGIS desktop to overlay Ecoregions and State boundary files. Then the intersect tool was used to overlay the SLOSH buffer with the Union file. The result of the Intersect was then manually cut along the lines defined by the coastal geomorphology using lines defined in the “Manual_Edit_lines” feature. The resulting feature class was then provided with names based on the state two-digit acronym and a sequential number. </SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
