  • This data set consists of an unsupervised classification of land and water for the year 2000 for the CWPPRA project, The Replace Hog Island Gully, West Cove and Headquarters Canal Structures (CS-23). The data are generated using color infrared mosaicked imagery for that year. The data are used by project managers for each site in order to get a general overview of land loss. The data can be compared to the same type of data from previous years to conduct trend analysis.

  • This data set consists of mosaicked color infrared 2000 aerial photography for the CWPPRA project, The Replace Hog Island Gully, West Cove and Headquarters Canal Structures (CS-23). The data are used as base map data for either land/water analysis and/or habitat change analysis. The imagery also serves as a visual tool for the project managers to assist them in land loss or any other obvious problems within the project boundary.
Wetland Value Assessment
  • Project Area (acres): 42247
  • Average Annual Habitat Units*: 491
  • Acres Created / Restored: 367
  • Acres Protected: 586
  • Total Net Acres: 953

* Habitat Units represent a numerical combination of habitat quality (Habitat Suitability Index) and habitat quantity (acres) within a given area at a given point in time. Average Annual Habitat Units represent the average number of Habitat Units within any given year over the project life for a given area.
