Data for New Zealand reprocessed by Nick Young, using the NIWA Tide API for tidal corrections. Shoreline position is corrected to the MSL. See the README for more information. You can download data for an individual site by clicking on a transect, or you can download everything from:
If you have any questions about this data, please contact Giovanni Coco
If you would like to suggest a new site, please use the polyline tool on the left to draw a reference shoreline. Once you do so, you can click the below button to send your shoreline to us via email.

LivePublication Integration
This site features LivePublication, an interactive tool that allows you to generate and view shoreline publications on demand. When you click a transect, LivePublication processes the latest shoreline data and presents a downloadable, publication-ready report directly in your browser. This integration provides real-time access to up-to-date shoreline analyses, making it easy to explore, share, and cite coastal changes for any monitored site.
To use LivePublication, click the "Enable LivePublications" button in the toolbar. Then, click on any transect to generate a live shoreline publication for that site. Note: As this is a demonstration of how LivePublications may be generated live, they may take up to 1:30s to complete.
Custom Date Range Analysis:
When LivePublication is enabled, you can set a custom date range for your analysis using the date controls in the toolbar. This results in an additional section per shoreline publication, describing the data for this date range. This section is at the bottom of the report. This allows you to focus on specific time periods of interest, such as analysing shoreline changes during particular years or decades.
