Bank and Shoreline Stabilization in NH Wetlands (Derived from NWI Plus)

This dataset identifies wetlands across New Hampshire with modeled potential to stabilize banks and shorelines, using functional assessment outputs from the National Wetlands Inventory Plus (NWI Plus). Managed by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), the layer helps planners, regulators, and conservation professionals evaluate where wetlands may provide natural protection against erosion and support the structural integrity of rivers, streams, and lake shores. It supports landscape-scale planning and resource management and should be used for screening rather than detailed site assessments.
