Images and marsh erosion data from Bastian Bay August 2014 to September 2015

Waterproof cameras were set on a two-hour time-lapse interval to photograph shoreline erosion for a coastal Louisiana marsh to document edge erosion over one year (August 2014 to September 2015). Image processing software was used to measure the width of the micro-headlands and micro-bay in select photographs. This data submission contains daily pictures of marsh erosion at one site in Bastian Bay, La and data on marsh erosion calculated from select images. Cameras were placed at two semi random sites, but only data from Site 2 was used to measure erosion because video from Site 1 was not usable for that purpose and could only be used in a qualitative sense. This dataset supports the publication: McClenachan, G., and R.E. Turner. 2017. Documenting marsh shoreline erosion: The land loss legacy effects of disturbances. Plos One. In revision.
