Habitat map of mangrove, marsh and vegetative change derived from WorldView-2 and Landsat-8 satellite imagery for Rookery Bay, Florida 2010-2018

Habitat maps of the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve were created using WorldView-2 and Landsat-8 satellite imagery from 2010-2018. Landsat images were mapped using the Support Vector Machine machine learning method in ENVI, and WorldView images were mapped using a preliminary version of the SOALCHI decision tree algorithm. Habitats mapped include healthy mangrove, degraded mangrove, marsh, upland vegetation, soil, and water. Changes in habitats record damage caused by Hurricane Irma in September of 2017 as it made landfall in the reserve as a Category 4 storm. This data set is mosaicked georeferenced TIFF (.GeoTiff) files using all images from the month and year indicated by the filename. Time ranges from March 2013 to November 2018. This dataset also includes the .aux, ,cpg, .dbf,.tfw, and .ovr files exported with the TIFF image.
