Delta Management at Fort St. Philip (BS-11): 2021 land-water classification

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs for the Delta Management at Fort St. Philip (BS-11) project for 2021. This data is used as a basemap land-water classification. It also serves as a visual tool for project managers to help them identify any obvious problems or land loss within their project boundary. To better evaluate the effectiveness of restoration efforts, a land-water classification is performed on specific CWPPRA sites to help assess landscape changes.

路易斯安那州议会制定了《沿海湿地规划、保护与修复法案》（Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act，缩写CWPPRA），旨在保护、修复、营造并改善路易斯安那州的沿海湿地。依据该法案制定的湿地修复计划，明确要求对每个沿海湿地修复项目的有效性进行评估，以验证其是否能为遏制沿海湿地流失提供长期解决方案。本数据集包含2021年圣菲利普堡三角洲管理项目（BS-11）的拼接航空影像，该数据被用作土地-水体分类底图。同时，它亦可作为项目管理人员的可视化辅助工具，帮助其识别项目边界内的各类显性问题或土地流失状况。为更好地评估修复工作的实施成效，研究人员会针对特定CWPPRA项目点开展土地-水体分类工作，以辅助评估景观变化。
