Summary

This data set consists of digital data describing wetlands and uplands habitats for the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program (MsCIP) area, consisting of Cat, Ship, Horn and Petit Bois Islands for the year 2020. Wetlands were classified using the Cowardin, et al., wetlands classification scheme to the level of freshwater and tidal, salinity modifiers. Uplands were classified using a customized classification scheme which can be cross-referenced to Anderson, et. al. For this dataset, upland dunes were delineated as areas at or above 1.524 meters (5 feet) as determined in the Lidar data that was referenced without modification for this classification. With this elevation criteria some delineated upland dune features may be high beach [...]

Purpose

The goal of this analysis is to classify habitat types and change over time to document and understand the short and long-term effects of restoration actions on barrier island habitats and assess whether the desired outcomes were met. The datasets created as a part of this effort will also offer a mechanism for data-driven decision support for planning and management.
