Bayou Dupont Marsh and Ridge Creation (BA-0048) 2024 habitat classification
The Louisiana State Legislature established the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. Restoration plans developed under CWPPRA require evaluating the effectiveness of each project in achieving long-term solutions to coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes aerial imagery for the Bayou Dupont Marsh and Ridge Creation (BA-0048) project for 2024. The imagery serves as a basemap for habitat classification and as a visual tool for project managers to identify potential issues or land loss within project boundaries. To better assess restoration effectiveness, a habitat classification is performed on specific CWPPRA sites to monitor landscape changes over time.
