Final Report to EPA for CD963819-01-1
Abstract
Project activities addressed four priority elements in Virginia’s approved state wetlands plan. The existing monitoring and assessment strategy will be strengthened through incorporation of new data on the habitat function of existing and newly migrated marsh. Field surveys (information acquisition) will enhance existing understanding of marsh habitat function under sea level rise; and together with a water quality potential assessment, will support the refinement of an existing, EPA funded, marsh vulnerability analysis for conservation planning. Web-based tools for planners and managers (e.g., WetCAT) will be extended to incorporate information useful in planning wetland protection.
