The minimum mapping unit for wetlands was 1-2 hectares and 8 hectacres for the non-wetland landcover classes.Photo interpretation procedures conformed to National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) standard conventions and protocols developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for cartography and digitizing (USFWS National Wetlands Inventory 1995, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1994, 1995).
