Updating the National Wetland Inventory in Coastal Texas

Summary

Ducks Unlimited will produce updated wetland maps from Galveston to the Texas-Louisiana border using the most current available imagery, data, and mapping techniques, as the wetland inventory of the region is severely outdated. Work will include aerial imagery and data compilation, fieldwork for validation of wetland classification, and production of a wetland inventory that can be used as a baseline for evaluating habitat conditions and management strategies.
