The breakpoints (coast line) dataset was downloaded from the NHC website at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gis/breakpoints/current/Breakpoints_2016.kmz.

Then, converted to JSON:

% node lib/cli.js --breakpoints data/Breakpoints_2016.kml | jsonlint > data/Breakpoints_2016.json

To see a map of these breakpoints, run:

% cat data/Breakpoints_2016.json | json-to-geo | nd-geojson | geojsonio

• rodowi/json-to-geo
• rodowi/nd-geojson
• mapbox/geojsonio-cli
