  • Product Id: 1997-02-0115
  • Type: Spatial Data
  • Created: 7/2/2003 12:00:00 AM
  • Modified: 4/14/2004
  • Contact: Bill Jones
  • Office: NWRC-GIS
  • Orientation:
  • Scale: Unknown
  • This data set consists of an unsupervised classification of land and water for the year 1997 for the CWPPRA project, Boston Canal Shoreline Stabilization (TC-09). The data are generated using color infrared mosaicked imagery for that year. The data are used by project managers at each site in order to get a general overview of land loss. This can may also be compared to the same type of data from previous years to conduct trand analysis.

  • This data consists of mosaicked color infrared 1997 aerial photography for the CWPPRA project, Boston Canal Bank Stabilization (TV-09). 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 other obvious problems within the project boundary.

Wetland Value Assessment
  • Project Area (acres): 466
  • Average Annual Habitat Units*: 78
  • Acres Created / Restored: 0
  • Acres Protected: 378
  • Total Net Acres: 378

* 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.
