Habitat Mapping and Change
The Reserve System's
Habitat Mapping and Change Plan
was developed in 2007 to establish the framework for mapping habitats in reserves for long-term change related to local sea level change and human-caused stress from reserve watersheds.
The habitat mapping and change plan is supported by additional documents including the
NERR Land Cover and Habitat Classification System
and associated
implementation protocols
and
documentation
.
