Litto3D is a unique and continuous land-sea database which provide 3D models of french coastal areas. Surveys are carried out by airborne lidar bathymetry over the sea side and airborne lidar topography over the land up to 2km inland. Litto3D digital models are available in two formats: a set of 3D points and a digital terrain model. The product "Litto3D - Brittany 2018-2021" covers the coastline and islands of Côtes d'Armor, Ille-et-Vilaine and Morbihan departments.

The high resolution Coastline corresponds to the Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) with a tidal coefficient of 120 and in normal weather conditions (no sea breeze and mean atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa). The high resolution coastline is available in french subantarctic islands (984).

<em>Surface current predictions computed from statistical values obtained from the IROISE 3D 2011 Telemac hydrodynamic model gridded with a regular 30m spatial resolution.</em><br /> <br /> This service offers a visualization of surface current predictions computed from statistical values obtained from a high resolution hydrodynamic simulation at mean Neap and Spring corresponding to a tide coefficient of respectively 45 and 95. Those statistics are then interpolated/extrapolated every 15 minutes (cubic spline), and for each tide coefficient from 20 to 120 (linear).

"Aids ton navigation" product contains a description of landmarks, beaconage or buoyage, in the French Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

French Ministry of Culture / DRASSM – Shom The product "Limit of preventive archeology licence fee" contains the limits for the preventive archeology licence fee (1 nautical mile) as defined in the French Heritage Code. This limit is managed by the Department of Underwater Archeological Research (DRASSM) of the Ministry of Culture. This limit, defined by the Heritage Code at 1 nautical mile from the low-water line, permits to delineate the areas where the licence fee for preventive archeology at sea is applied. In Mainland France in the Gironde estuary, the limit for the preventive archeology licence fee is stopped by the crosswise limit of the sea as defined by the decree of 26 August 1857. In French Guiana, the limit for the preventive archeology licence fee is stopped in Maroni and Oyapock rivers by the crosswise limits of the sea respectively defined the order of 30 January 1991 and the order No 863 of 26 May 1986, until meeting the land boundary which delineates the rivers with the neighbouring States. The product "Limit of preventive archeology licence fee" is to use in addition to the digital product “Maritime Limits and Boundaries” of Shom (French: “Délimitations maritimes”) which represents the limits of the French maritime spaces of sovereignty or jurisdiction through the World. The product “Maritime Limits and Boundaries” (French: “Délimitations maritimes”) can be viewed on data.shom.fr (Maritime boundaries Category) and downloaded on the French national portal of maritime limits (https://maritimelimits.gouv.fr).

Litto3D provides 3D, continuous sea-land description of French coastal areas. Data is acquired by airborne topo-bathymetric LiDARs. Litto3D products come in 3D point clouds and digital terrain models formats. The product "Litto3D - Nouvelle-Aquitaine 2020-2022" covers the geographical area from the Charente-Maritime to the Spanish border. For the maritime part, the data produced by Shom extend offshore down to signal extinction, approximatively 20 depth when environmental conditions are optimal. On land, the data are truncated at a limit that ensures the product retain its coastal character.

Lidar marine product is a unique and continuous land-sea database which can provide 3D models of the shape and location of french coastal terrain. Surveys are carried out by airborne lidar bathymetry over the sea side and airborne lidar topography over the land side up to 400m inland. This marine product is available in two formats: a set of 3D points and a qualified terrain mesh.

The land-sea limit corresponds to the Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) in the case of a tide of coefficient 120 and under normal meteorological conditions (no offshore wind and mean atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa). This geometric line is naturally defined as the intersection of a HAT model (extended to the coast and the top end of the upper estuary) based on the available Bathyelli surfaces, and a high-resolution digital terrain model of the coastal area. It corresponds to the highest limit of the intertidal area and takes into account, when they exist, the 3 administrative maritime limits which are: the transversal limit of the sea (LTM), the salt water limit (LSE) and the limit of maritime jurisdiction (LAM). This limit is measured (quoted) in relation to the local hydrographic chart datum and to the levels of reference for France (IGN69 and IGN78 for Corsica). Relations to other levels of reference (mean sea level and ellipsoid) are known. The land-sea limit product, mainly results from the exploitation of the two products Litto3D®/RGEALTI® and Bathyelli, and represents, with a metric resolution (1 to 5 metres), this theoretical entity by a set of 2D polylines describing the nature of the coast (artificial or natural, rocky or sandy, steep or flat, etc.). The method used for calculating the land-sea limit makes it possible to produce a continuous, homogeneous and spatially coherent limit on the entire French metropolitan coastal area.
