Coastline files contain data that define coastlines used in the ADCIRC and CGWAVE coverages. When a Coastline file is read into SMS, the feature arcs are created at an elevation of 0.0. If a coastline closes, the final point is not repeated.
Coastline files are opened through File | Open and saved from File | Save As... from the Map module.
