Southern Maine Land Cover 1986 Analysis for June 9, 1986
Entry ID: Southern_Maine_Land_Cover_1986_Analysis

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: This data set consists of three Landsat Thematic Mapper scenes which
were analyzed according to the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) protocol
to determine land cover and a subsequent change detection. The data were field
validated and mosaicked to produce a land cover inventory for Southern Maine.
If you wish to create an attribute table to identify the different land cover
classifications, an easy reference table is available under the PROCESS
DESCRIPTION section.

Purpose: To improve the understanding of coastal uplands and wetlands, and
their linkages with the distribution, abundance, and health of living marine
resources.
