Description:
Abstract:
The polygons represent the landcover present (year 2001) in the area potentially inundated by Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) in the year 2100.
Purpose:
The layer was created for estimating the migration potential for wetlands as the area inundated due to MHHW changes along the California coast.
Supplemental_Information:
The dataset covers the California coast and the San Francisco Bay.
Due to data limitations, areas of Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Orange counties were unable to be mapped. The mappable area for those counties is: 49% of Santa Barbara County, 23% of Los Angeles County, and 65% of Orange County.
The landcover data was acquired from NOAA's Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP), dated 2001. <http://www.csc.noaa.gov/crs/lca/ccap.html>
