Abstract
This chapter considers the potential for integrating disparate data sources for the analysis of temporal change in the near-shore environment of the Wash embayment. The two principle sources of subtidal and intertidal data are the charts published by the UK Hydrographic Office and the surveys of the Port of Boston. From this data, a qualitative assessment has been conducted of modelled and charted topography. Attention is given to the time scale over which charts may be used and of the quality of the data contained. From this recommendations are given to the way in which both the chart resource and other surveying schemes may be used effectively within GIS and in turn, Shoreline Management Plans.
