Coastal Classification

The NZ coastal classification looks at classifying the entire New Zealand coastline including the open coast and estuaries, rocky shores and unconsolidated shores. Shores and beaches were classified using the following broad parameters: Exposure; Coastal landform type; Foreshore sediment type; Hinterland characteristics. At present only the open coast unconsolidated shores and beaches have been classified as a starting point to keep the mapping task manageable.
