  • This data set consists of mosaicked color infrared 1997 aerial photography for the CWPPRA project, Whiskey Island Restoration (TE-27). 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 project managers to assist them in land loss or any obvious problems within the project boundary.
Wetland Value Assessment
  • Project Area (acres): 4926
  • Average Annual Habitat Units*: 549
  • Acres Created / Restored: 447
  • Acres Protected: 792
  • Total Net Acres: 1239

* 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.
