Methodology:

The shape of this european coastline is based on the Corine land cover 2000 features. The intersection between Corine land cover "sea and ocean" class and any other class was selected as the "initial coastline". Then the classes "estuaries" and "intertidal flats" were added to the marine environment if they were connected to the sea, having a direct connection to the sea, or through other "estuaries" or "intertidal flats". This is the shape of the coastline, that has inherited the Corine land cover class attribute as well. The attributes from Eurosion coastline were added. Through a simple allocation process from the Eurosion coastline segments, and a identity procedure afterwards, the coastline was splitted in more segments, each of those inheriting the correspondent eurosion segment code.
