Shore line drawing

Recommended Posts

i want to draw a shore line for change detection analysis, but the problem is,   shoreline is not continuous one, i mean its a high estuarine coast, many tidal creaks are there, so how do i draw a line, whether i will draw line upto  further upland/ inland along  with the tidal creeks,or just to draw the lower part of the land.is there any condition/ laws  for shoreline drawing for this particular coast.

you can make 2 different line to distinguish between low water or high water shoreline, here the example :

Also I found interesting journal about shoreline mapping :
