Description:

Abstract:

This dataset shows freshwater wetland change within the Tampa Bay watershed as it occurred from approximately 1950 to 2007.

Purpose:

This data layer is the end product of the change analysis task of the "Developing a Coordinated Watershed Approach for Linking Compensatory Mitigation and Tampa Bay Habitat Restoration Goals" project of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. The goal of the task was to compare current Tampa Bay Watershed upland wetlands to those that existed in approximately 1950. The comparison characteristics were total acreage, wetland function and wetland structure.

Supplemental_Information:

This dataset is a spatial union of the Wetlands_1950_Final and Wetlands _2007_Final datasets.

Process_Description:

The Wetlands_1950_Final and Wetlands_2007_Final layers were unioned together to create this layer. Once complete, the presence or absense of features from each source layer was the basis for the determination of whether loss, gains or no change had occured over time.
