Fritchie Marsh Restoration PO-06 2010 Project Area Land-Water Data

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 restoration plans developed persuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetland restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetland loss. This data set consists of digital data describing wetland land-water classification for the Fritchie Marsh Restoration for the year 2010. The land-water data were derived from interpretation of color infrared photography flown at 1:12000. All areas characterized by emergent vegetation, wetland forest, scrub-shrub, or uplands are classified as land, while open water, aquatics, and mud flats were classified as water.

路易斯安那州立法机构制定了《海岸湿地规划、保护与恢复法案》（Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act，简称CWPPRA），旨在保护、恢复、营建并改善路易斯安那州的海岸湿地。依据该法案制定的湿地恢复方案明确要求，需评估每一项海岸湿地恢复项目在达成遏制海岸湿地流失的长效解决方案方面的有效性。本数据集包含2010年弗里奇沼泽恢复工程的湿地水陆分类数字数据。该水陆分类数据源自比例尺为1:12000的彩红外航空摄影影像解译。所有以挺水植被、湿地森林、灌丛或高地为特征的区域均被划为陆地；而开阔水域、水生区域及泥滩则被划为水体。
