Fisher Island, Plum Island, and the northern shore of Long Island, New York were also included in this work.

Extensive field work was conducted by the USFWS Region 5 Southern Coastal Zone program in September, October and November, with 290 field sites. The 2006 photography was scanned and geo-rectified using 2004 ADS 1/2 meter true color imagery.
