Holly J. Beck Nicholas M. Enwright Jason Dugas Brady Couvillion William Soohoo Kelly Mouton 2017 Raster Digital Data Set https://doi.org/10.5066/F7GT5KC3 This dataset consists of raster images produced by the University of New Orleans for and funded by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources Office of Coastal Restoration and Managegment (LDNR/OCRM Contract No. 2512-06-06). The original raster dataset was clipped to the updated boundary of the BA-38 CWPPRA project (Pelican Island and Pass La Mer to Chaland Pass) for Chaland Island. These raster datasets are a component of the deliverables necessary to fullfill requirements for the University of New Orleans under the scope of services specified in the Statewide Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) Program. The raster data provides LDNR/OCRM with short term and near term habitat configurations for five Louisiana delta regions as outlined by the BICM Program. The delta regions include the western Chenier Plain between Sabine Pass and the Lower Mub Lake Entrance; the Teche delta from Raccoon Point to Wine Island Pass; the Lafourche delta from Cat Island Pass to Quatre Bayou Pass; the Modern delta from Quatre Bayou Pass to Sandy Point; and the Chandeleur Islands between Hewes Point and the southern most point of Breton Island. The intended use of these datasets are to provide LDNR digital rectified raster images of habitat classification for the five delta regions in Louisiana for the time periods 1996/98, 2001/02, 2004, and 2005 so that more informed decision making on coastal restoration activities may result. 20051027 publication date Complete As needed -89.78359 -89.73811 29.31602 29.30532 None CWPPRA wetlands mosaic aerial photography coastal restoration coastal conservation coastal enhancement monitoring GIS rectification image satelite imagery DOQQ scan DEM Louisiana habitat USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:589e25ebe4b099f50d3a070b None Coastal Louisiana Louisiana Gulf of Mexico South Louisiana BA-38 It is strongly recommended that this data is directly acquired from the distributor (LDNR/OCRM) and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. The distributor makes no claims as to the data's suitability for other purposes. Acknowledgement of the LDNR/OCRM as a data source would be appreciated in products developed from these data, and as such acknowledgement as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected by users of this data. Sharing new data layers developed directly from these data would also be appreciated by LDNR staff. Users should be aware that comparison with other data sets from the same area from other time periods may be inaccurate due to inconsistencies resulting from changes in mapping conventions, data collection, and computer processes over time. The distributor shall not be liable for improper or incorrect use of the data, based on the description of appropriate/inappropriate uses described in this metadata document.
