What do you mean by shoreline survey? 

A shoreline survey is a survey of all property that borders shellfish areas from the shore to 500ft. inland. The goal of the shoreline survey is to locate pollution sources. Surveyors go door-to-door and look for evidence of failing septic systems, straight pipes emptying untreated water, pet or wildlife waste, livestock, and uncontained livestock manure, that does or may adversely impact coastal water quality.

Why shoreline surveying?

Shoreline surveying is done in order to locate shorelines. It helps in locating prominent features that may effect sounding. It helps in determining low and high water lands.
