Variable General Info
Natural habitat class ?Comment:Habitat cover datasets were derived from a high resolution (~3 m2) ecological cover map developed by the Natural Areas Conservancy (NAC), and supplemented using the NWI dataset (Table 3). The aquatic bed, high dune, and low dune classes were extracted from the NWI dataset. All other classes were extracted from the NAC dataset. Input datasets for the past (1609) scenario were developed using data from the Welikia Project developed by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). This project aimed to map Jamaica Bay’s habitat cover as it likely existed in 1609. |
