Federal Coastal Wetland Mapping Programs.

Abstract

The manuscripts contained in this report describe what the Federal government is doing to map the Nation's coastal wetlands. Various aspects of a series of Federally funded programs are described, including the purpose and intent of the programs, technologies used, the type of data and other mapping products generated, and how the information is used. In this paper, we summarize the major programs and present the Habitat Loss and Modification Working Group's conclusions and recommendations for actions that could be taken to improve the effectiveness of Federal activities. We hope that this assessment of the various Federally funded coastal wetland mapping programs will reveal strengths, weaknesses, areas for improvement, and opportunities for better coordination among the Federal agencies and between Federal and State agencies as well.
