Modern riparian polygons (1995 - 1996)

Source:

SBSP and SFEI

Description:

Modern Baylands is the companion dataset to the Historic Baylands produced by SFEI. The modern datasets show current conditions (1995-1996) for comparison to historic wetlands. Important data sources for the Modern Landscape View are the 1985 National Wetlands Inventory, winter 1995-96 NASA infra-red (IR) photography, and intensive "truthing sessions" conducted by SFEI to involve regional and local experts in the revision of earlier versions of the EcoAtlas. This file represents modern riparian polygons derived from this process.
